The power of words is in its ability to influence people and events. There are people and groups that may want to censor words in order to protect certain parties, beliefs, or traditions. Censorship of published works takes the form of banned books. When materials are banned, groups (who can be anyone, from the government, to schools, libraries, or bookshops) are prohibiting the reading of works by suppressing the spread of the material. This can take the form of prohibiting the importation of books into an area, the refusal to teach the material, or even book burning. Bans on materials can be enacted at the national or subnational level, and can carry legal penalties for their infraction. Books may also be challenged at a local, community level. As a result, books can be removed from schools or libraries, although these bans do not extend outside of that area. Examples of these can be found at List of most commonly challenged books in the U.S.

This article intends to list works, such as novels, nonfiction books, short stories, and essays that have banned by governments over time. When possible, the current status of the book in the country it is banned will be included.

[edit] Background

Books are banned for a variety of reasons. Materials are often suppressed due to the preceived notion of obscenity. This obscenity can apply to materials that are about sexual lifestyles, race, drug use, or social standing.

Governments have also sought to ban certain books it perceives to contain material that could threaten, embarrass, or criticize it.[1] Governments may also ban books to protect the public from their contents, including materials that may endanger public safety.

Other leaders outside of the government have banned books, including religious authorities.[2] Church leaders who prohibit members of their faith from reading the banned books may want to shelter them from perceived obscene, immoral, or profane ideas or situtations.

But even religious materials have been subject to censorship. For example, various scriptures have been banned (and sometimes burned at several points in history. 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.
