8.2180 Authority, Appropriation of Voice, and the Writing of Multicultural Literature.
The article "Who Should Write Multicultural Literature" touches upon many of the central issues of this controversy. This paper will demonstrate that there are no easy or absolute answers to these issues. In particular, it will be argued that while a writer's "insider" status within a racial or ethnic group may give her an advantage over a "non-insider", it is not the primary determining factor in assessing qualifications or the quality of a literary work. It will be proposed that the criteria for evaluation of multicultural literature should not be race or skin colour, but rather sensitivity, accuracy, and honesty. 8 pgs. 0 f/c. 0b.

12.3668 Color Consciousness and Instrumentalist Responses in America.
Color consciousness and racial thinking have diverse and very old origins.

The spurious claims of IQ and racial difference are criticized, mainly for the ways in which research is misinterpreted and used. It is argued that the line of research is irrelevant to the social problems that it has been purported to address. Instead, greater energy should be applied to views of society promoting diversity as a natural state of affairs and as the means to corrective law and policy. 10 pgs. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
