Brian, The September 1993 issue of English Journal contains an article entitled "Racism and _Huckleberry Finn_: Censorship, Dialogue, and Change" by Allen Carey-Webb. Not only is it a a sensitive and accessible treatment of the issue, but it also contains an excellent bibliography which will point you in other directions that should be productive. A more extensive treatment of various viewpoints on the issue can be found in _Satire or Evasion: Black Perspectives on Huckleberry Finn_ (1992), edited by James Leonard, Thomas Tenney, and Thadious M. Davis. Jonathan M. Barz Concordia University
