Reseña del editor
Who would have believed that The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn could cause the worst crisis in the history of George Mason High School? Certainly not Barney Roth, editor of the school paper. But when a small but vocal group of students and parents decide that the book is racist, sexist, and immoral--and should be removed from reading lists and the school library--Barney takes matters into his own hands.
When the Huck Finn issue comes up for a hearing, Barney decides to print his story about previous censorship efforts at school. He's sure that investigative reporting and publicity can help the cause. But is he too late to turn the tide of censorship?. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
Biografía del autor
Award-winning journalist and social commentator Nat Hentoff (1925-2017) was one of the most prolific jazz writers of the ’50s and ’60s, providing liner notes for countless albums, as well as writing or editing several books on jazz, including Hear Me Talkin’ to Ya: The Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It. His writing appeared in Esquire, Harper’s, and the Village Voice, where he wrote for 50 years. In 1995, he received the National Press Foundation’s award for lifetime achievement, and in 2004, he was the first non-musician to win the honor of being named one of six Jazz Masters by the NEA.

Zustand: Good. An edition in good condition. 7/8", round, smiley face stamp on inside-front-cover; unobtrusive. Shelf-wear to edges and corners of the cover. Front-panel art is pretty good. Moderate shelf-wear, but not heavily rubbed or scratched. Spine not cracked or broken. Age-toning on text-block edges, just fading into the pages. Pages and binding still solid; binding is still supple and pages are not brittle. First Laurel-Leaf printing. ; In the late 1940s, Nat Hentoff was a young, ambitious journalist working for the liberal magazine The Village Voice. He was covering the McCarthy hearings and the Red Scare, and he was outraged by the government's tactics.One day, Hentoff was called into a meeting with his bosses. They told him that the FBI had come to arrest him for espionage. Hentoff didn't believe them, but he knew that if he didn't cooperate, he could be arrested and imprisoned.This riveting book tells the story of Hentoff's arrest and the long fight that he and his friends waged to free him. It is a fascinating look at the era of McCarthyism and the fight for free speech in America. Artikel-Nr. 27526
