The objection of white students to the sexual vulgarity in the book, and the objection of African American students to the racial vulgarity, are contrasted, and the author likens the unwritten rules of racial discourse in U.S. society to the delaying tactic of the filibuster in the U.S. Senate. The ways Nordan's book gets around this "filibuster" in its allusions to the 1955 murder of African American Emmett Till are then discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Arkansas Review: A Journal of Delta Studies is the property of Arkansas Review and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
