I have really mixed views as to me, the cultural heritage or the colour of an author’s skin is probably the last thing as think of when I read a book. In fact, without a picture on the dustjacket I don’t know (OK a name might be a hint, but not necessarily)
I am the last person to want to perpetuate a male while dominance of world literature, but does Cambridge University not have more important things to stress about? Is it equality, positive discrimination or tokenism?
