I've read Dr. Chadwick's *The Jim Dilemma: Reading Race in Huckleberry Finn, and found it an interesting study. On a similar topic: Something I wonder, and am curious if others have any thoughts about, is: if Albert Bigelow Paine's (and Hemingway's) usage of "Nigger Jim" might have more to do with the perception that *Huckleberry Finn* is a racist book than the actual language within the text.
