Nanny State Alert: Publisher Plans To Release Mark Twain Novels With ‘Racial Slurs’ Removed

It is unfortunate that racial slurs were included in Mark Twain's classic novels, but he was a man of his times. You don't reedit the classics.

(The Australian) – A PUBLISHER is planning to release a new edition of two of Mark Twain’s classic novels that replaces the racial slurs used throughout the books with less offensive language.

NewSouth Books will release a single volume containing both novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, overseen by Twain scholar Alan Gribben, Publisher’s Weekly said. In both, the n-word is replaced with the word “slave” and the word “Injun” is removed.
