Chicagoland Friends of American Renaissance

This page is still very much a “work in progress”… in the future, we hope to provide extensive informational resources you can use to enhance your understanding of racial, cultural, and immigration issues. In the meantime, to get you started, here is a list of some books we’ve found to be especially helpful. Enjoy!



			The Real American Dilemma: Race, Immigration, and the Future of America answers the question: Why is race the problem that will not go away? Crime, poverty, illegitimacy, welfare dependence, school failure, immigration–all these burning issues of our time revolve around race. And yet, race is the subject about which Americans are most reluctant to speak honestly. We must not let the fear of being called “racist” stifle debate about America’s oldest problem–for without courage and honesty no solutions are possible. This is a book that will make you think. If you care about America it will make you act. It is a collection that brings together the work of eight of the most thoughtful people writing about race today–Prof. Phillippe Rushton, Dr. Samuel Francis, Prof. Michael Levin, Prof. Glayde Whitney, Jared Taylor, Dr. Wayne Lutton, Fr. James Thornton and Prof. Michael Hart. » available at amazon.com



			A Race Against Time is a collection of articles from American Renaissance, the leading journal of racial-realist thinking. This book represents an unapologetic break with the assumptions and clichés of the civil rights era. The authors believe that when decades of experience do nothing but contradict the assumptions that underlie social policy, those assumptions must be reexamined. America has tried–as earnestly as a nation can try anything–to build a society on the assumption that race can be made not to matter. It is time to recognize failure. The authors represented in this book–Samuel Francis, Jared Taylor, Richard Lynn, Michael Levin, and others–reject today’s racial orthodoxy. They are all fully aware that what they propose in its place is no less than heresy against the state religion. It is a religion few people actually live by, but it still has the power to dictate policy, and to terrify and punish scoffers. At its simplest, their heresy is this: Race is important, and whites have rights and interests as a race. » available at amazon.com



			Race, Evolution, and Behavior is one of the best books ever written about on race. It marshals statistics on race differences and provides a comprehensive gene-based evolutionary theory to explain them. It may startle many people to learn just how much information we have on race differences in brain size, intelligence, sexuality, personality, growth rate, life span, crime, and family stability. Also surprising to many will be the consistency with which, on all of these traits, Orientals fall at one end of the spectrum, blacks at the other end, and whites in between. » available at amazon.com



			In his seminal work The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, Samuel Huntington argued provocatively and presciently that with the end of the cold war, “civilizations” were replacing ideologies as the new fault lines in international politics. His astute analysis has proven correct. Now Professor Huntington turns his attention from international affairs to our domestic cultural rifts as he examines the impact other civilizations and their values are having on our own country. America was founded by British settlers who brought with them a distinct culture including the English language, Protestant values, individualism, religious commitment, and respect for law. The waves of immigrants that later came to the United States gradually accepted these values and assimilated into America’s Anglo-Protestant culture. More recently, however, national identity has been eroded by the problems of assimilating massive numbers of primarily Hispanic immigrants, bilingualism, multiculturalism, the devaluation of citizenship, and the “denationalization” of American elites. September 11 brought a revival of American patriotism and a renewal of American identity. But already there are signs that this revival is fading, even though in the post-September 11 world, Americans face unprecedented challenges to our security. Who Are We? shows the need for us to reassert the core values that make us Americans. Nothing less than our national identity is at stake. » available at amazon.com



			The Religion of Macho is about the cultural changes that the West underwent during the 1960s. Or, in other words, it is about the rise of the left and how it changed our perspectives on our emotions and our ideas about crime. Fundamentaly, we went from being a Christian culture to having a “Religion of Macho.” We went from thinking negatively about crime to thinking more positively. This was done in order to accomodate the Blacks and their high crime. As Whites used to imitate Jesus, they now imitate the Blacks or their bad attitudes about crime. As Whites used to worship God, now they worship the Blacks and the other non-Whites. Hence, the Whites now have a Religion of Macho. » available at amazon.com



			In Immigration’s Unarmed Invasion, “Wooldridge addresses a burning problem. The book is tightly researched and compellingly written. The consequences of excessive and illegal immigration are convincingly shown to lead to unacceptable conditions for the present and for future populations.” –Dr. Hans Matzke, former Head of the Physics, European Commission, Germany » available at amazon.com
