Interesting Words - Rewriting Books
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is going to be republished, this time without the N word.
(Instead of the n word the word slave will be used, and the author, Twain scholar Alan Gribben, has also changed "injun" to "Indian". Of course Huck Finn is a classic and so many people are up in arms. Seemingly many schools will no longer allow the book to be read because of the use of the ‘N’ word. I guess it's a step up from book-burning.)
