In addition to MT Journal 22:2 (Fall 1984), another source that's probably good (though I haven't yet seen it, it's so new) is _Satire or Evasion?: Black Perspectives on Huckleberry Finn_, eds. James S. Leonard, Thomas A. Tenney, and Thadious M. Davis (Durham, NC: Duke Univ. P, 1992). According to the MT Circular 6:1 (Jan-Mar 1992), the book has "a broad range of essays on the controversy over racial aspects of HF, concluding with a 31-page annotated bibliography of other works pertaining to HF and race." It has all of the articles that appeared in MT Journal 22:2, and many more. Also, if you look in the New York Times index, I think you'll find several stories and editorials about specific instances of a push to ban HF from schools and libraries. Sometime in the 80s I remember a letter by MT came to light, in which MT wanted to donate money to a scholarship of some kind, but he insisted the scholarship be targeted for a black student. I think this went a little way toward disproving that Twain was racist--for some people, anyway.... BTW, when HF was first banned (shortly after publication), apparently it was because some people objected to MT's use of what they considered "bad grammar." Regards, Taylor Roberts
