My district doesn't make Huck Finn available to students, but I believe it's an essential work in American literature, and would provide my students with critical knowledge of key cultural discourses reflecting on obviously still-urgent questions about race in the nation's history--from slavery to reconstruction to the present and the future. Reading the text will enable students to engage imaginatively through Twain's masterpiece in longstanding debates about race in America, and to think critically, historically, and comparatively--about how and why this text has and continues to provoke, in the best sense, its readers. The text will not only be an occasion for discussions about race, class, gender, and central themes in American history and culture, but also for sound training in close analysis and literary criticism.
