Wow, that is super-cool. Are we talking American 1st Edition or British?

I was wondering about that. I've heard of that edition. Technically, though, wouldn't the Oompa-Loompas be "African-British" in that edition?chestermcdragon said:
I think what I've heard is that they're described as "black pygmies from Africa." Even with the changes, I've always been a bit confused--I could never tell whether the bit about the Oompa-Loompas coming out of the trees to live and work in the factory was promoting British imperialism, or satirizing it. I've always been a little uncomfortable with that.
