in which our heroine packs up the discourse and ships it to abu dhabi

I recently fell under the spell of Friday Night Lights, A.K.A. the best show on television, to the point that I borrowed the non-fiction book that inspired the show from the library. Apparently someone was working on a very weird term paper about this book, because whoever had it last has used bright orange post-its to flag every page with the word "ni--er" on it, in some strange, quantitative analysis of the text. There's even a little note on one as to whether "ni--ertown" qualifies. Note to the unseen scholar: it does.
