Ulysses
by James Joyce
The U.S. Customs Office banned the importation of this classic for
15 years on the grounds that it was obscene. In 1918, chapters published
in the Little Review were burned by the U.S. Post Office. In 1933,
the ACLU won a major legal victory that forced the U.S. Customs
Service to lift its ban.

Candide
by Voltaire
This critically acclaimed satire was declared obscene by U.S. Customs
in 1929 and seized in 1930. At the time, the book was an assigned
text at Harvard, and was defended by two professors. The book was
then permitted in a different edition. The U.S. Post Office demanded
that a mail order book catalog omit the book in 1944.

Leaves
of Grass by Walt Whitman
In 1881, the Boston District Attorney demanded expurgation of this
American classic and threatened criminal prosecution unless this
demand was met. According to the prosecutor, the volume of poetry
was in need of a few "fig leaves."

The
Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
Generally cited for "vulgar language," this American classic has
been burned, banned, and challenged since its publication. The first
incident was a burning by the St. Louis public library, and more
recently it was challenged as questionable material in California
as reading material for an 11th grade literature class.

Brave
New World by Aldous Huxley
Huxley's classic has been accused of being anti-family and anti-Christian
and has been challenged due to "language and moral content." It
faced a challenge in California in 1993 on the grounds that it is
"centered around negative activity."
|
 
Fahrenheit
451 by Ray Bradbury
Ironically, this novel about book-burning and censorship faced expurgation
in California in 1992 when students received copies with words deemed
to be offensive crossed out. Students and parents protested, and
after being contacted by the media, school officials agreed to stop
using the expurgated copies.

The
Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
This novel by the Pulitzer prize-winning author was pulled from
a high school in Alaska in 1994 and cited for being too "controversial."
The novel was both challenged and banned in Pennsylvania in 1994,
and faced challenges in both Florida and Massachusetts due to the
book's sexual content.
|
 
The
Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
Anne Frank's diary of the holocaust has been a target of frequent
challenges. While a county in Virginia objected to sexually offensive
language in 1982, an Alabama textbook committee called for the rejection
of the diary on the grounds that it was "a real downer."
|
 
The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Ironically, this book which was attacked after its first publication
for being too racially tolerant is now being attacked for being
too racist. Twain's classic was deemed upon publication as "rough,
coarse and inelegant," and not suited for "intelligent, respectable
people."
