In response to Robert Dagnall's inquiry about charges of racism in "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," David Tomlinson cited a special issue of the Mark Twain Journal on the subject (Fall 1984). The essays in that issue have been updated and republished, along with six new essays, new introductory material, and an annotated bibliography, in a book titled "Satire or Evasion?: Black Perspectives on Huckleberry Finn" (Duke University Press, 1992). I am one of the book's three editors; the others are Tom Tenney and Thadious Davis. --Jim Leonard
