This is one of the most dichotomous regions of the U.S. The center of Appalachia is in Eastern Kentucky, specifically the coal mining region. In honor of Banned Books Week, I want to address one my favorite books, which is set on one of my favorite geographical locations.Īppalachia is a part of the United States many know little about. Thus, Banned Book Week was created in response to the increasing number of challenges to books. In 1982, however, there was a renewal in efforts to ban books in schools and public libraries across the United States. Most post-Civil War challenges were over books that were considered “indecent,” even though no one could agree on what was indecent and what was not. In the U.S., banned book history began when the Southern states banned Uncle Tom’s Cabin. ![]() Banned Book Display courtesy of Forsyth County Public Library, Cumming, GA ![]()
