    Sensitivity revisions to James Bond novels

    Ian Fleming Publications commissioned a sensitivity review of the James Bond novels before new editions were issued. The resulting edits removed or changed some references considered offensive, including certain depictions of Black people, but retained other controversial language. The decision was criticized as editorial censorship by some observers and defended by others as an effort to make the books more suitable for contemporary publication.
