Note to REVS subscribers from Alan Spector, REVS Editor/Manager:  The
following message was sent to REVS, although it was probably intended
mainly for Ms.  Shabazz.  In general, subscribers are encouraged to send
individual messages to individual people rather than the whole list, if the
message is focused on that one person.  However, I decided to send this out
to the list because others on the list might have answers to some of the
questions raised here.

Original message and new message are printed below:

Dear Demetria ,
I am late , excuse-me .
You were the only person to give me an answer (but not the commentary i
have asked for). Thank you.
The internet as a commercial service  is something very new in Brazil .
Over one year ago there was not internet among us .  This new media
offers me the the chance to buy the books you have in your wonderful
libraries and bookstores . I have maden the most of the opportunity !
  My purpose when i sent you the list of the books was to show you
interesting texts (were i being redundant ?), to reveal (once again) my
personal concerns in the race problem and to start a debate .
  The books will not be used for a course .  I have to close my master
degree until june 1997 and i want read them before finishing my thesis .
  By the way , how could i  read similar articles of the academic
magazines ? I have observed that racist organizations offer a lot of
texts in their web pages .  When the more "respectable" organizations
devoted to the social scientific research will do the same for not losing
the information battle ?
  Good-bye.
  Chauke.
