I've been reading Joseph Conrad recently.

I completely understand why the offensive racial epithet in the original title of the novel published in the USA as "Children of the Sea" had to go.

Unfortunately, that offensive epithet is used throughout the work, sometimes ventriloquised, sometimes not. It cannot simply be excised from the text.

As a consequence, "Children of the Sea" is probably impossible to assign to students and difficult to discuss in depth elsewhere.

I would not be surprised therefore if the work slips into oblivion. Such obscurity would be a loss, since Conrad touches on important themes concerning masculinity, solidarity in the face of a hostile nature, and - yes - race. The novel also reveals something about Conrad's political leanings. In addition, Conrad wrote some magnificently evocative prose in his account of the voyage of the Narcissus.

Please don't read this post as an attack on "wokery" or "snowflakes". Sometimes quashing the circulation of hateful racist language matters more than literary discussion, so I would not want to struggle to prevent this book sliding off the syllabus.

Yet, as so often is the case, the right decision is not cost free; we are losing something important as we lose sight of "Children of the Sea".
