Amazing! Margaret Mitchell romanticizes the concerns of self-absorbed, pro-lavery elitists in Gone With the Wind and gets a page-plus of ink from the “Truth and Fiction experts” and nobody mentions Alex Haley’s Roots !?

Greater clarity of writing: Haley. Greater historical depth: Haley. So? The panel throws in its lot with the myths of treasonous rebels. Frankly, Scarlet, your reputation is a damn sight better off these days than it oughta be.
