[DCRM-L] literature of prejudice

[Deborah J. Leslie]

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.

 

How about "Polemical literature"?
