Things in my Tabs

The other day while at the panel discussion on archival research in science fiction, I idly wondered if anybody had gone through and collected the letters of Carl Brandon. It occurs to me this might be useful to me later on, since I'm kinda leaning towards tracing the discourse of race and racism in scifi into the multiculturalism rhetoric in steampunk. I don't know if it would be worthwhile though... I mean, I'd like a book called "The Collected Letters of Carl Brandon" but that could be just me. (I'd also want some of the responding letters too...) I dunno. What do ya'll think?

But I wondered what else got said about race in scifi before RaceFail got underway so here's Samuel Delany's 1998 piece on Racism and Science Fiction.
