Recently, several books have generated controversy. One example is “The Bluest Eye” by Angie Thomas, which centers on the experiences of African American girls and was cited as being anti-polite. Another work that has received scrutiny is “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou, which some people consider to be explicit or inappropriate for children. Even some bestselling fiction has generated debate—James Baldwin’s “Go Tell it On the Mountain” and Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” both deal with difficult subject matter that has made them targets of censorship attempts.
