mention vague, since it could include stuff with a much softer point of view
than e.g. a John Birch or KKK pub that is patently prejudicial to a particular
group. -Jackie<br>

font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>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.<br>
<br>
How about “Polemical literature”?<br>
