Censorship and book burning are still present in our lives.
Lawrence Hill shares his experiences of how ignorance and the fear
of ideas led a group in the Netherlands to burn the cover of his
widely successful novel, The Book of Negroes, in 2011. Why do books
continue to ignite such strong reactions in people in the age of
the Internet? Is banning, censoring, or controlling book
distribution ever justified? Hill illustrates his ideas with
anecdotes and lists names of Canadian writers who faced censorship
challenges in the twenty-first century, inviting conversation
between those on opposite sides of these contentious issues. All
who are interested in literature, freedom of expression, and human
rights will enjoy reading Hill's provocative essay.
