Paraguay
0 banned books
Paraguay under General Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship (1954–1989) — one of the longest-lasting in Latin American history — maintained comprehensive censorship of books, press, and media. Works by the country's greatest writer, Augusto Roa Bastos, were banned; Roa Bastos spent most of his adult life in exile. Opposition literature, works on social justice, and books by exiled Paraguayan writers were suppressed. The end of the dictatorship in 1989 restored press freedom.
