Follow along in the text at Project Gutenberg, or read the original publication in Blackwood's Magazine from the Internet Archive (volume 167, beginning at page 60). Gutenberg text: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5658 Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/blackwoodsmagazi166edinuoft/ In this episode, Lauren and Ann discuss their decision to censor a word in the text, with the hope that people who want to study the text and the context of that word will be able to do so by reading the text, while those who do not want to be surprised with that type of language can choose not to hear it in the middle of this podcast. There are a number of articles about this word in particular and its place in literature and today's classrooms. Here are several of those recommendations for you to read further: Demby, Gene. “Who Can Use The N-Word? That’s The Wrong Question.” NPR, 6 Sept. 2013, https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/06/219737467/who-can-use-the-n-word-thats-the-wrong-question.

Lopez, German. “Ta-Nehisi Coates Has an Incredibly Clear Explanation for Why White People Shouldn’t Use the n-Word.” Vox, 9 Nov. 2017, https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/11/9/16627900/ta-nehisi-coates-n-word.

Pierce, Sean. “Straight Talk About the N-Word.” Teaching Tolerance, no. 40, Fall 2011, https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/fall-2011/straight-talk-about-the-nword. In addition, our conversation briefly touched on the use of the word "Oriental" in the text. For more information about this word and the concept of Orientalism, this text may be of interest to you: Said, Edward W. Orientalism. Vintage Books, 1979. Nutting Memorial Library, and likely your local public or university library, has many more materials on these themes. If you want to learn more about these topics, please contact your librarian for recommendations on further reading.
