Our Borders, Ourselves: America in the Age of Multiculturalism

Multiculturalism and unmitigated immigration have weakened America quite possibly to the point of no return. At its founding, immigration was integral in the formation of the United States of America. The melting pot was the essence of our beginning. The blending of diverse people overwhelmingly from Europe made the country an extension of the greatest of civilizations. When immigration was measured, when assimilation was demanded, and when our borders were controlled, America thrived. This diversity within limits enriched America. But in the last half century or so, when uncontrolled immigration from the world over was pushed upon us, when balkanization was encouraged, America faltered. "Diversity" became a deceptive catchword and a force hostile to cultural and natural distinctions. Illegal immigrants were welcomed by the millions. Eventually, we saw racial profiling in college admissions, politicians pitting groups of people against each other, and white becoming a bad word. In Our Borders, Ourselves, genius conservative essayist Lawrence Auster details the fraud foisted upon the American people in the name of diversity. Published posthumously, Our Borders explains how the Immigration Act of 1965 led to the erasing of white America and the nihilist culture we live in today. The granting of aggressive race consciousness to minority groups and the denial of it to the majority are only one part of the problem. This book identifies the principal ideas and forces--racial, political, psychological, moral, and religious--that are destroying American civilization and shows how those forces have been institutionalized and internalized by the American people themselves, including conservatives. Auster explains in detail the shift from classical liberalism to modern liberalism, which corresponds to the shift from self-respect to self-esteem. Once a society has denied the existence of right and wrong, it has abandoned its own history and denied its own legitimacy. It has opened a Pandora's Box of evils that, according to Auster, can never be returned whence they came.

Review :
"Lawrence Auster had an unequaled ability to see basic issues and lay out their ultimate implications. . . . He loved America as a place and people as well as a proposition. He must be read." --James Kalb, author of The Tyranny of Liberalism and Against Inclusiveness "Larry Auster was a brilliant writer who was ahead of his time. Our Borders is an important look at the dismantling of America and Western Civilization." --John Derbyshire, journalist and author of We Are Doomed "Larry was one of the most difficult men I ever met, but he was a cross that we had to bear because he was a genius. This book, his magnum opus, is a vitally important book that is a must read for all American patriots!" --Peter Brimelow, Editor, VDARE.com and author of Alien Nation "Nothing shows the quality of a man's mind more clearly than the words he chooses. Precision in thought and writing was one of Mr. Auster's overriding concerns throughout the twelve years he presided at his blog View from the Right. A restoration of moral and cultural standards, respect for rules and laws, and an orderly way of life constrained by proper checks and balances were some of the matters he addressed at VFR, where he always evinced the utmost respect for the English language." --Alan, longtime reader of View from the Right
