In Cold The Catcher in the Rye Censorship Controversies and Postwar American Character Pamela Hunt Steinle In Cold Fear examines the censorship controversies over J. D. Salingers The Catcher in the Rye as a cultural debate occurring across America, 1954present. Catcher presents a narrative in which adolescent embrace of American ideals of individualism and egalitarianism lead to criticism and rejection of dominant postwar social practicesa narrative as threatening to some adults as it is heartening to others. Attempts to remove Catcher from high schools as an 'unAmerican' text have generated continuous and extensive controversy, distinguishing it as one of the most frequently taught postwar novelsand the most frequently censored. Treating Catcher as a cultural Rorschach test, In Cold Fear tracks debate discourse in openended interviews, public media, editorial letters, and in school board and community meetings in Alabama, California, New Mexico, and Virginia. Debate participants express common agreement with Salingers critique of postwar American life but divide over whether adolescents should be either exposed to or protected from this perspective. The peculiar angst of the debate is explained by participants articulation of a wizening of the American a declining vision of American exceptionalism, recognition of social powerlessness, and fearfulness of an uncertain American future rooted in the threat of nuclear annihilation. In Cold Fear provides historical postholes for understanding how differing audiences interpreted Catcher and offers a suggestive context for understanding the contemporary anxieties of Americas 'troubled teens.'
