  3. That's the power we have when we demand literary dignity, narrative justice, true equity and not hollow representation. We want REAL, authentic, - not more white hegemony. When we stand as one, they listen. They have no choice.

  4. Though there's no apology, note that B&N has officially cancelled tonight's panel and—their statement says—the entire initiative. PRH tells me the only books to be sold will be at the 5th and 46th location.

    I’ve been saying that this phenomenon of replacing white characters in stories with characters of color is NOT the way to address the lack of diversity. I hope now that we see a more extreme case people get a clue.

    The most peaceful place to write is in white writers' silence when shit happens to POC

    Dear B&N & PRH: Fixed this for you. Here are some “Classics for ” (and Hey! New Classics too!) instead of "B&N's New Covers With Blackface". Sincerely, & common sense people everywhere.

  16. The CANON IS WHITE. The culture, on the page in these books, is WHITE. No need to assume. Every reader knows that when they were written, POC were NOT FEATURED IN BOOKS. , all you're disrupting is & the literary dignity of communities of color. 17/

  17. The chief diversity officer at massive advertisement ad agency came up with this idea. They used an AI to find texts in which there was "no reason based on literary context" for "these characters [to be] assumed white." Any human reader can tell you the reason. 16/

  19. The CANON IS WHITE. The culture, on the page in these books, is WHITE. There's no assuming a damn thing. Everyone reading them knows that when they were written, POCs were NOT BEING FEATURED IN BOOKS. Hell, they hardly are today.

  20. REMINDER: Y'all NYC folks free at 1:30 pm today, consider joining me at the Barnes & Noble on Fifth Avenue. I want to see whether these black- / brown-face books are already on display and maybe live stream some comments about the, ahem, "diverse" and tone-deaf line.

  21. And ... I realize I didn't mention this last night ... each book has FIVE VARIANT COVERS, so EVERY main minoritized ethnic/racial group has an equal helping of this gross, fetishizing erasure/faux-diversity. A stunning failure on every single level. 15/
