We get Huck Finn all wrong: Race, Mark Twain, children and myths of an American classic

'Our sense of comedy and seriousness in "Huck Finn" says more about
America now than America in Mark Twain's time'

An interesting excerpt from a book.  Sometimes things do get better, but
other times the old problems just take new forms, like the
ever-recurring moral panics over every new form of media.
