Talk:Black Man's Burden

Some points

 * While I have attempted to follow the style guidelines for novels for this article, I did include a character section because it was quite hard to include one key fact--that the black fieldworkers are all highly educated (especially for the 1960s)--as part of the plot; it got too cluttered. Since Reynolds goes out of his way to point out each character's educational attainment, I thought it was something that should not be left out of the article. Also, I do not refer to the fieldworkers as "African-American" because that is not the term Reynolds uses since it was not in vogue until the 1980s. --Drx (talk) 22:35, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
