Guest, can you say more about how the African-American community views the portrayal of racial stereotypes in Huckleberry Finn, and what is said to be the problem? One may agree or disagree that the book perpetuates stereotypes, but how about if we first get a clearer understanding of what it feels like, from that view?

Also, are all of the Guest posts in this thread from one person? Could you please, so that we can keep things straight, take a name for the purposes of this thread, as has been requested, and idicate which posts have been yours?

Thanks,

~Susan
