The national bestseller that shocked the nation--The Death of the West is an unflinching look at the increasing decline in Western culture and power. The West is dying. Collapsing birth rates in Europe and the U. S., coupled with population explosions in Africa, Asia and Latin America are set to cause cataclysmic shifts in world power, as unchecked immigration swamps and polarizes every Western society and nation.

The Death of the West is a timely, provocative study that asks the question that quietly troubles millions: Is the America we grew up in gone forever?… (meer)

On the one hand my conscience says "no,no,no" to Buchanan, but my gut level feeling as one of these whites with European background, now competing with these immigrants in the labor market it is "yes,yes,yes". I hate to press 1 just to get to engage in a telephone call with someone who speaks English. My sense is I should not add this to my library, my other is that this is an important item as it gives the other side, just as a 100 year old American history book I am adding, in part for its take on the Indians.

Buchanan's take on the growing populations across the world is nothing short of xenophobia, racism, and isolationism. He seems to somehow suggest that we should both close our borders so that no cultural or racial diversity can occur, and that America should take back the Western world in some kind of imperialist thrust that will restore the white man as master of civilization. Just another reason I have trouble trusting American politicians.

"Militant paganism is crowding out the old faiths," whines the dust-jacket blurb, much to my delight (and skepticism) but not to Buchanan's. Here we have a morbidly fascinating catalog of the mental detritus that fills the cranial cavity of the right-wing, nationalistic, religion-addled culture warrior. Just as I don't agree with everything in a Nader book, though, I don't disagree with everything in Buchanan's. Foe example, I think the forecasts of substantial worldwide declines in European-descended populations are basically correct. But mostly it's a righteously rightist screed whose page margins one would like to saturate with handwritten rebuttals.
