Arizona's Banned Books List

 
Here's an alphabetical listing of the Arizona banned books list.  It is provided by J. Quinonez-Skinner of the Oviatt Library at CSU Northridge to indicate those books on the list that are proudly possessed by her institution.  It's not difficult to assess the political motivation behind the banning; note how many authors on the list are Latino/Latina and African-American.  Shakespeare, Thoreau, James Baldwin, Isabel Allende, and Sandra Cisneros are included.  Thanks to Gerardo Pacheco for informing me of this list.
