Its primary purpose is to silence challenges to an established elite or norm. Today, censorship is part of a larger assault on such American institutions as schools, public libraries, and universities, the better to establish more control over the people--while also pilfering their wallets. In this concise look at censorship, author James LaRue explores the topic through a librarian's lens. Using humor, reason, and intelligence, he builds a case against censorship as he recounts stories from his experience as a librarian confronting book banning, while also casting a wider net to encompass larger issues of censorship. On Censorship is a part of Fulcrum Publishing's Speaker's Corner Books series"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Libraries $x Censorship $z United States. 650 0 $a Censorship $z United States. 650 0 $a Intellectual freedom $z United States. 650 0 $a Cancel culture $z United States. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Censorship. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Books & Reading. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a LaRue, James, 1954- $t On censorship $d Wheat Ridge, Colorado : Fulcrum Publishing, 2023 $z 9781682754580 $w (DLC) 2023011515 941 $a 12 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240502012629.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20240416012136.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045101.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240409011459.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010505.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240207010332.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20240206011412.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011736.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010212.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20240103011114.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231108010552.0 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20230713014306.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=594E86B4214311EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
