Lista de los libros más cuestionados en los Estados Unidos

Wikipedia list article

La serie de Harry Potter de JK Rowling fue la obra más desafiada entre 2000 y 2009. Sus temas relacionados con cosas como la brujería han generado controversia .

Las segundas obras más antiguas que figuran en la lista fueron escritas por Mark Twain . Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) es desafiado constantemente por su lenguaje y discusión sobre el racismo.

Esta lista de los libros más cuestionados en los Estados Unidos se refiere a los libros que se busca eliminar o restringir del acceso público, generalmente de una biblioteca o un plan de estudios escolar. Esta lista se basa principalmente en datos estadounidenses recopilados por la Oficina para la Libertad Intelectual (OIF) de la Asociación Estadounidense de Bibliotecas , que recopila datos de informes de los medios y de informes de bibliotecarios y maestros. ^[1]

Según la OIF, las tres principales razones para impugnar dichos materiales eran que contenían contenido "sexualmente explícito", lenguaje "ofensivo" o "no eran adecuados para el grupo de edad". ^{[2] [3]}

Lista

Desde 2001, la Asociación Estadounidense de Bibliotecas ha incluido los diez libros más desafiados por año en su sitio web. ^[4] Usando el curso de publicación de Radcliffe, las 100 mejores novelas del siglo XX , ALA también ha señalado clásicos prohibidos y desafiados. ^[5]

La lista está ordenada alfabéticamente de forma predeterminada. Se incluye el rango de cada libro en las listas de la ALA de los 100 libros más desafiados por década (si corresponde).

Nota: La Oficina de ALA para la Libertad Intelectual (OIF, por sus siglas en inglés) no afirma ser exhaustiva en el registro de desafíos. La investigación sugiere que por cada desafío reportado, hay hasta cuatro o cinco que no se reportan. ^[6]
