Reviews

""A vital, illuminating, and empathetic portrait of just how far the educational censorship movement has reached into schools and libraries across the US. By giving voice to the teachers and librarians on the frontlines, Perrillo offers an essential manual for fighting back against censorship and ensuring intellectual freedom and democracy can thrive in the classroom and beyond.""--Summer Lopez, Interim Co-CEO, PEN America ""Jonna Perrillo has produced our first comprehensive, empirically grounded account of the ways that classroom instructors navigate attacks on their professional capacities and responsibilities. Her book will be an invaluable resource for scholars of censorship, and--even better--for teachers who want to resist it.""--Jonathan Zimmerman, professor of history of education, University of Pennsylvania ""Perrillo's book makes a lasting contribution to understanding the historic and modern practices of book censorship that prevent students from accessing the vast potential of story and becoming lifelong readers.""--Emily Kirkpatrick, executive director, National Council of Teachers of English
