Mission Statement
The mission of this website is to compile and display the historical challenges and bans of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye between the years of 1951 and 1980. The main focus will be on the case of a Tulsa High School instructor whose position was opened for a time after their eleventh grade class was assigned to read the controversial book. The end goal of this website is to link the Tulsa, Oklahoma, case to other national incidences of The Catcher in the Rye being challenged and banned. These links will be socially, politically, and sociologically made. Information will be gathered through the use of various web tools, alongside books, journal articles, archive materials and interviews.
