Hi, Sondra,

It sounds, though, like it would be a good book to include in the reading
for a college-level course on the history of race relations.  By reading
some of these old books, a white student can gain a direct picture of how
his/her ancestors (or cultural predecessors) viewed various minorities.
I agree, though, that exposing younger and relatively unsophisticated
students intellectually to these stereotypes without adequate guidance
and discussion with adults who are sensitive to racial/cultural
differences poses the danger of teaching negative stereotypes.
Take care,
Robin
