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>
