Cinq années de données révèlent les livres les plus censurés en Amérique

Le printemps 2026 marque cinq années de contestations et de retraits de livres en hausse dans les écoles et bibliothèques américaines. PEN America a recensé environ 23 000 interdictions depuis l'année scolaire 2021, bien que le nombre réel soit probablement bien plus élevé. Une nouvelle analyse des listes officielles met en lumière les titres et les auteurs les plus fréquemment visés.

L'American Library Association et PEN America ont compilé les registres les plus détaillés disponibles. Le Monde de Charlie de Stephen Chbosky arrive en tête des listes combinées avec huit occurrences. Il est suivi par All Boys Aren’t Blue, L'Œil le plus bleu, Gender Queer et Tricks, apparaissant chacun sept fois. Ellen Hopkins arrive en tête des auteurs avec vingt titres sur les listes, devant Sarah J. Maas avec dix-huit.
