Censorship, editing and self-censorship
Shahidha Bari's guests in a frank topical discussion include Rana Mitter and Nicola Wilson.
Shahidha Bari looks at censorship, editing and self-censorship with guests including historian of China Rana Mitter and Nicola Wilson, who’s been studying reading recommendations from The Book Society which operated in the UK between 1929 and 1968. The book selectors sometimes suggested changes to the published texts so we hear about this history and look at publishing now.
