Annotation

An examination of Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn suggesting that more than any other work, Twain let African-American voices, languages, and rhetorical traditions play a major role in the creation of his art. Adds new dimension to current debates over multiculturalism, and the literary canon, showing how it has helped shape African-American writing in the twentieth century.
