America Apart: How Multiculturalism is Destroying American Race Relations

In America Apart: The Inconvenient Truth about Multiculturalism and Racism Today, James R. Long exposes the myths that are leading America toward a reckoning from which it may not be able to recover. Long contends that a nation comprised of different races - sans identity politics - could work, but that a nation comprised of different cultures will not. The evidence for his sweeping argument incorporates psychology, history, economics and Long's own personal experiences in what he calls the dungeon of diversity, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.America Apart begins with a frank discussion on the merits/demerits of the two competing models and philosophies seen within American society: the salad bowl and melting pot. Chapters 2 - 5 dissect what Long calls 'the narrative' - that disparities between racial group's outcomes in health care, education, employment and the justice system are solely caused by racism and discrimination. Chapter five, Crime, Race, and the Justice System is broken into two parts. In part one, Long dismantles, claim by claim, Michelle Alexander's award-winning, best-selling book, The New Jim Crow. Part two focuses on interracial crime and in particular how the intelligentsia misrepresents the facts when the perpetrator is white and the victim black.The origins for this false narrative are given their own chapter (7) in which Long takes the reader back in time to early twentieth century Germany and the Institute for Social Research. Here, he details where much of the modern Left's ideology comes from and how its vision is propagated. Economic Marxism gave way to cultural Marxism. The proletariat got replaced with non-whites, gays and women.In the final chapter, Long explains what the proponents of the narrative want (massive white guilt) and what the consequences will be if they achieve their goals. Along the way, Long dispels the falsehoods surrounding bi-lingualism, grievance politics and reparations. Using his own legal case as evidence, Long also takes on the results-oriented, judicial activist approach to law and several of its advocates including renowned historian John Hope Franklin.America Apart ends with an ominous warning: that Americans must shed their hyphenated ethnicities/identities and become Americans only. If not, they risk turning their civil society into an ethno-police state - like the one in which the author himself resides.

Is their love strong enough to withstand an assault from the enemy? Catherine and Henry have overcome numerous obstacles to reach what they believed to be an impossibility: a steady relationship together. Through nearly insurmountable hurdles caused by tragedy, misunderstandings, and insecurities, the two have finally found a way to each other's heart. Their love is like their quarrels: stronger than ever. But not perfect. Susan is still in shock that Henry showed no interest in rekindling their romance upon his return from the war. While they had never officially been a couple, Henry's devoted interest in Catherine from the moment he stepped off the train has left her confused, insulted, and angry. Susan doesn't lose, especially not to dowdy Catherine. Determined to have the final victory, Susan will do everything in her power to destroy Catherine's happy ending. It's obvious, Henry belongs with her. She'll use every weapon in her arsenal: mastered manipulation, bribery no one can walk away from, seduction, and lies. And Susan's greatest weapon: her memory. Susan remembers who Henry was before the war, and she remembers the homely, insecure loner Catherine used to be. Susan is determined to remind them-no one can run from their past forever.
