Cinco años de datos revelan los libros más censurados en Estados Unidos

La primavera de 2026 marca cinco años de un aumento en las impugnaciones y retiros de libros en escuelas y bibliotecas de EE. UU. PEN America ha documentado cerca de 23,000 prohibiciones desde el año escolar 2021, aunque se cree que el total real es mucho mayor. Un nuevo análisis de las listas oficiales destaca los títulos y autores más frecuentados por estas medidas.

La American Library Association y PEN America han compilado los registros más detallados disponibles. The Perks of Being a Wallflower, de Stephen Chbosky, encabeza las listas combinadas con ocho apariciones. Le siguen All Boys Aren’t Blue, The Bluest Eye, Gender Queer y Tricks, cada uno con siete apariciones. Ellen Hopkins encabeza la lista de autores con veinte títulos, por delante de Sarah J. Maas, con dieciocho.
