List of books banned by governments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia List of books banned by governments From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Many societies have banned certain books. This is a partial list of books that have been banned by governments, for various reasons. These bans can be enacted at the national or sub-national level, and can carry legal penalties for their infraction. Books are also forbidden by religious authorities, who prohibit members of their faith from reading them, but without this being a criminal offense. Books may be challenged at a local level, and possibly removed from schools or libraries as a result, but not legally banned in the involved community; examples of such from the United States can be found at List of most commonly challenged books in the U.S. Part of a series on Censorship By media Banned books Banned films · Re-edited film Internet · Music · Press Speech and expression Video games Methods Book burning · Bleeping Background Books are banned for a variety of reasons. For example, one reason is to "protect" the public from their contents. The threats that are cited to justify the bans may be abstract (e.g., "obscenity") or more concrete (e.g., "public safety"). For example, various scriptures have been banned (and sometimes burned) at several points in history. For example, the Bible, the Qur'an, and other religious scriptures have all been subjected to censorship and have been banned by various governments. Similarly, books based on the scriptures have also been banned, such as Leo Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God Is Within You, which was banned in Russia for being anti-establishment. Non-religious books deemed critical of the state or its interests are another common target for banning.[1] Books are frequently banned as "obscene" or "indecent" when they are perceived to be a threat to "public morals". Sexual content - especially in forms which are taboo in a given society - is the most common basis for such bans. In modern societies it is typical for material with sexual content to be made unavailable to children, without banning it altogether for adults, but certain kinds of content may receive a complete ban. Books that present criminal matters have also been subjected to censorship, usually on the grounds that they either incite or assist in committing crimes. Small-press titles that have become infamous by being banned include The Anarchist Cookbook and Hit Man.
