Leslie Gregory's paper, "Finding Jim Behind the Mask: The Revelation of African American Humanity in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," was voted the best paper of the first issue of Ampersand. The reviewers noted in their comments that Leslie's paper offered a subtle reading of a highly controversial issue of this classic text--the perception of Jim both as slave, and thus subhuman, and as human.
