JacketFlap tags:  Ana Castillo, huffington post, Writers Against Racism, "Mexican White Boy" by Matt de la Pena, Tucson high school censorship, Add a tag

Over the weekend, I was catching up on my Facebook posts and resting. I had to cancel Jacquie Harvey’s interview for another day because I was truly exhausted.  Anyway, while trolling, I saw a post from YA author Matt de la Peña…
How do you say no to Ana Castillo, Tucson? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeff-biggers/breaking-tucson-high-scho_b_1458984.html

www.huffingtonpost.com

In a stunning rejection of celebrated author Ana Castillo’s offer to read and speak with Tucson high school students next week, Tucson Unified School District administrators added a new chapter to the nation’s most troubling censorship crackdown.What is going on in Tucson? What message is this sending to their young people? What can we do to help???

Michele Howe Clarke talks to me about the fine art of “Facing Forward” after living through an unusual bout of cancer that left her disfigured, but not discouraged. W.A.R., author, Matt de la Pena talks about his recent trip to Tucson, AZ, and what it feels like having your well-received novel pulled from the bookshelves. Lastly, author Zetta Elliott, sheds light on the Trayvon Martin case – the not so fun reaction to the HUNGER GAMES movie; as well as some highlights from her latest novel, SHIP OF SOULS.
