Of Huckleberry Finn and the “N-word”
So on the news today I heard that the latest version of the Mark Twain classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will arrive in students hands sans all the colorful vernacular related to race. For the rest of us – they is removing the “n-word” and injun from the book . I remember reading this book a long time ago and I am fairly certain it didn’t teach me those words. Not that I grew up in an environment where they were condoned but they existed in my world – if even by accident – and I knew what they meant. All that being what it is I want to know what the readers here think – should the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn be edited or does it even matter? Feel free to expand on your vote in the comments section. |
