- Summary:
- Especially in academia, controversy rages over the merits or evils of Mark Twain's ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, especially its portrayal of Jim, the runaway slave. Here the author of THE JIM DILEMMA focuses her discussion on both sides of the issue and unflinchingly defends the importance of keeping the book in the classroom for both its historical value and literary merit.
