If you've been following some of the controversy (or not) relating to the publication of Tintin in the Congo, for the first time in English, there is a kist-posted piece on this, the book, and its background, on Stereotype and Society (http:// stereotypeandsociety.typepad.com). I think you will find it of interest and I strongly encourage you to add comments if you see fit. I also hope you've had a chance to read "'The Other' Revisited" the post that appeared over the weekend. The piece has garnered considerable response.
