Censorship in the Third Reich, A Case Study on John Dos Passos
How Nazi students banned and burned books
Censorship in the Third Reich
A Case Study on John Dos Passos
The new book by Miguel Araújo Oliveira
(firmenpresse) - Portuguese author Miguel Araújo Oliveira has published a unique academic study of historical importance on censorship during the ruthless dictatorship of Adolf Hitler. Oliveira’s critical investigation focuses particularly on the works of John Dos Passos. The text reveals the reasons why Dos Passos’s books were burned by university students and later banned and why the writer didn’t conform to the “new literature” promoted by the Nazis. The monograph concludes with valuable information on when and under what conditions Dos Passos’s novels were republished in West and East Germany.
Review:
“This remarkable study examines the modus operandi of censorship during the Third Reich, focusing specifically on how it affected the German translations of John Dos Passos’s novels. New material is uncovered and thoroughly analyzed. This is an outstanding research that establishes Miguel Araújo Oliveira, already recognized as one of the world’s foremost Dos Passos’s scholars, as an expert on censorship as well.” Susana de Abreu, former university lecturer
