Chinua Achebe

edit

Thanks for your attention to detail on Chinua Achebe. However, my copy of "An Image of Africa" in Hopes and Impediments says on p. 8: "Joseph Conrad was a thoroughgoing racist". Are you using a different source?

Sorry to be picky, but I've spent a lot of time on this article, and it's currently being considered as a Featured Article, so we need to keep everything precise. – Scartol · Talk 02:18, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the link; if you look at Talk:Chinua Achebe, you'll find some more conversation about that. We're going to keep it as "thoroughgoing" for now, and maybe work some more discussion about the change itself later (if we can find a book which explains it). Cheers! – Scartol · Talk 00:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
