ការលក់ 'Maus' បានកើនឡើងបន្ទាប់ពីសាលា Tennessee បានហាមឃាត់ប្រលោមលោកក្រាហ្វិក Holocaust

Topline

Titles from ម៉ាស – a Pulitzer Prize-winning series about the Holocaust – made up nearly half of Amazon’s 10 best-selling comics and graphic novels Friday after one of the books was controversially banned by a Tennessee school district.

More than 42 years after the first graphic novel was released, a collection of the complete ម៉ាស titles is the top-selling graphic novel on Amazon, and it’s ranked 16th on the platform’s list of best-selling books from all genres.

The surge in sales followed a vote by a school board in Tennessee ហាមឃាត់។ ម៉ាស in its eighth-grade classrooms over what they claimed was the novel’s “unnecessary use of profanity and nudity” and depictions of violence and suicide, according to a statement from the district.

ម៉ាស, in which Nazis are shown as cats and Jews are drawn as mice, has  been used widely in U.S. schools to educate students about the Holocaust.

The vote was held earlier this month, but news of it spread internationally this week as International Holocaust Remembrance Day was marked Thursday.

ការហាមឃាត់ ម៉ាស is part of a wave of conservative actions to change school curriculums. Books dealing with gender and sexuality, social inequality and race have been banned from schools across the U.S., while a number of red states have banned critical race theory from being taught in public schools, including Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Arizona, and North Dakota. Late in his term, former President Donald Trump signed an act to promote “patriotic education” that downplayed slavery in the nation’s history.

នេះ ម៉ាស series is based on cartoonist Art Spiegelman’s relationship with his father, a Polish Jew who survived Nazi occupation during World War II. The first chapter of ម៉ាស was published in 1980 in comics anthology ឆៅ, and was serialized in each following issue until 1991, when the magazine shuttered. ម៉ាស won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992, and remains the only graphic novel to have ever won the prestigious award.
