Every week is banned books week for Chicanos.
In Arizona, two Chicana high school students, Maya Arce and Korina Lopez, await word of when their case against Arizona HB 2281 goes up before the 9th Circuit Court of appeals.
That's because in 2012, via AZ HB 2281, Arizona officials banned Mexican American Studies, claiming it promoted the overthrow of the government.
That statement is full of so many ironies I don't know where to begin. Read More.
This Banned Books Week, starting Wed Sept 24 through Oct 1, every hour, from 9 am to 9 pm, the Librotraficantes will tweet and post the title and author of one of the books on the list of MAS Banned Books.
It will take us all week to do it. There are that many. We'll be using the hash tags #MASbannedbooks #MASbannedbooksweek #Librotraficante
