Black, White and """"Huckleberry Finn – Re–imagining the American Dream Mensh

Black, White and \""\""Huckleberry FinnRe-imagining the American Dream\nAuthor(s): Elaine Mensh, Harry Mensh\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: The University of Alabama Press, United States\nImprint: The University of Alabama Press\nISBN-13: 9780817311308, 978-0817311308\nSynopsis\nHuckleberry Finn, one of the most widely taught novels in American literature, has long been the subject of debates over issues such as immorality to racism. This work enters the debate with an examination of racial messages imbedded in the tale of Huck and Jim. Using a gauge for analysis the historical record left by both slaves and slaveholders, this work compares Twain's depiction with historical reality, attempting to determine where the book either undermines or upholds traditional racial attitudes. Surveying the opinions of fellow critics, it challenges the consensus that \""\""Huckleberry Finn\""\"" fosters rapport between blacks and whites, arguing that the book does not subvert ingrained beliefs about race.
