Does anyone? Would it be useful to remove the term from the list, and just use
something (Controversial literature?) in brackets under [Content of work] - [Political

somehow.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

it’s so soft as to be relatively meaningless. How about “hate
literature”? :) After all, our society calls them “hate
groups,” not “polemical groups.” Good literary warrant.<br>

of the things that came up in conversation was that we knew it when we saw it,

isn’t necessarily derogatory, while “Prejudice” is. <br>

me as equally subjective—not to 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>

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>
