<p class=MsoNormal>I just had an epiphany. Some of you remember discussions
held a few years ago about the problem with the genre term “Literature of
prejudice,” which violates the cataloger’s ethic of labelling
(works, people) in a way they would not name themselves. But it is useful to
have a term in the hierarchy to collocate this kind of literature.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>How about “Polemical literature”?<o:p></o:p></p>
