Banned by Alice Walker US $11.96 Published by Aunt Lute Books, June 1, 1996 "This striking volume offers a detailed account of the effort to censor two of her most engrossing stories, "Roselily" and "Am I Blue." In her appro- priately ironic and critical introduction, Patricia Holt of the San Francisco Chronicle Book Review traces the comic yet tragic series of events that led to these stories being removed from a 1994 statewide examination by the California Board of Education, one for being "anti-religious," the other because it was "anti-meat-eating." Holt's fine essay and the stories themselves are followed by appendixes containing news clippings covering the various debates aroused by Walker's prizewinning fiction, making this an invaluable contribution to the literature of censorship." —American Library Association.
