Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Here is "Satire or Evasion? : Black Perspectives on Huckleberry Finn", published by Duke University Press in 1994. This is the paperback Third Printing. From the book's cover write-up : "Though one of America's best-known and loved novels, Mark Twain's "Adventure of Huckleberry Finn" has often been the object of fierce controversy because of its racist language and reliance on racial stereotypes. "Satire or Evasion? : Black Perspectives on Huckleberry Finn" is a collection of fifteen essays by prominent African American scholars and critics, who examine the novel's racist elements and assesses the degree to which Twain's ironies succeed or fail to turn those elements into a satirical attack on racism. Ranging from the laudatory to the openly hostile, these essays include personal impressions of "Huckleberry Finn", descriptions of classroom experience with the book, evaluations of its ironic and allegorical aspects, explorations of nineteenth-century context, and appraisal of its effects on twentieth-century African American writers."

Smith was Rector, St. Andrew's Church, Wellesley, MA and Lecturer in Homiletics at the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, MA. "I have had the preacher and teacher in the ordinary Church in mind. This is not intended to be a study of scholars by a scholar. The working parson needs, however, to know what the critical situation is, what the problems are, and the most commonly suggested solutions. But , unlike the scholar, the preacher must make a choice and come to a decision, even at the risk of being wrong and having to revise his judgment. My aim has ben to sift the interpretations offered and to choose those that give consistently as possible an approach to the parables that takes into account the nature of the Gospels, the historical situation, and the parabolic method." [from the Preface].
