Censorship in Books...

This is but another method of "play" and one that I shockingly didn't even consider until finding this interesting essay online. It talks about the children's classic "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" written by Road Dahl and the controversy over the original story he wrote. What was pointed out was the fact that all the workers, the Oompa-Loompas, were black. Road Dahl had written them in as Pygmies from Africa, not the orange skin, green haired looking fellas we came to know from the movie. Interesting read, will have to see what else I can find out on this.
