Racism in the Adventures of Hu

Controversial in death as he was in life, Mark Twain has been seriously

accused by some of being a \"racist writer,\" whose writing is offensive

to black readers, perpetuates cheap slave-era stereotypes, and deserves

of the racist style Mark Twain brings to the table. It is mostly

The anti-black feelings of this novel are the most obvious

forms of racism. Mark Twain uses references to slavery and

demeaning words to show Jim's inferiority to white people.
