Product Description

ONE SHEAF, ONE VINE RACIALLY CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS TALK ABOUT RACE This book is made up of the personal statements about race from seventeen white Americans. What they share is that, for them, the fact that they are white is more than an incidental, insignificant, or peripheral aspect of their being; it is central to how they view themselves and conduct their lives. The men and women you will meet in this book aren't public figures or leaders of organizations. They are everyday people: a postal worker from Philadelphia, a college student from Texas, an attorney from New York City, a bookstore owner from Washington State, an appliance repair man from Connecticut, a teacher from Chicago, and so on. We have a very negative image of racially conscious and committed whites gained largely from the media: neo-Nazi bigots, menacing skin heads, thugs who commit hate crimes. We are informed about people of this sort, but we don't hear from them. They aren't on television news shows speaking for themselves. They don't make movies or publish books. Politicians don't articulate their perspective or advocate their positions. Journalists and intellectuals don't write about them unless it is to be little them. Schools make no attempt to deal with them objectively. In this book, you'll hear from them. The words in this book are the speakers' as they spoke them; they haven't been altered, softened, or censored. And more than come to know their thoughts on race, you'll meet these people as human beings. Some of them you won't soon forget. Democracy depends on the free exchange of ideas. You make the call whether what these Americans have to say is to any extent valid. You decide whether what they say has any implications for what you believe and the way you believe.

4.0 out of 5 stars White People Speaking Up, January 10, 2004
By A Customer
University of Vermont Professor Robert Griffin, author of the biography of White nationalist William Pierce (The Fame of A Dead Man's Deeds), returns for an in-depth look at 17 everyday Americans who, more or less, see the world as Pierce did.

One Sheaf, One Vine is pure journalism - and I mean that in a good way, not a disparaging way. As recounted in his introduction, Griffin tape-recorded interviews with a broad variety of White Americans and typed up their statements, with a little editing, almost verbatim. They are speaking for themselves. Some are anonymous, some use their real names, but all are seeing the same thing: Race, contrary to the popular notion, is very real, and races are indeed different. What struck me is that most of the subjects began life as most of us did: believing, or wanting to believe, that "race is just a skin color," and that you can't generalize about races. But a combination of life experience and the writings and teachings of white nationalists changed that. Some were influenced by Pierce, others by David Duke, author of "My Awakening," others by Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance.

I preferred the subjects who had life stories to tell more than the ones who repeated the white nationalist political view, probably because I am already familiar with that. Many readers will see themselves: People who go about their daily lives, going to school, going to work, and noticing that "all is not right" with race in America. The media is silent on the matter. Schools pump up the multiracial utopia idea, as does the government, big business, and pretty much every other institution in our society. But these thoughts float around in our heads, going unspoken because of the great taboo associated with making critical comments about black people as a group or Jewish people as a group. In Griffin's book, you get to hear those thoughts. And you'll come to see that these people aren't "evil" or "ignorant," in fact, quite the opposite: many are quite well educated and most come off as very moral, very sincere people. It is the very opposite of the media view: anyone who dissents from the multiracial dogma is mentally unstable, uneducated or immoral.

I highly recommend One Sheaf, One Vine (the title comes from a Rudyard Kipling poem about life amongst different races). It is compelling material. If you consider yourself a dissenter from society's current position, you will take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. If you are an adherent to society's current position, you will at least get a look at what the people you disagree with are saying - without someone shouting them down as a "hater" in mid-sentence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth, Directly Told, February 1, 2004
By A Customer
This excellent book shows that Whites who are racially aware have legitimate concerns that are rarely discussed in public forums, and so are poorly understood by the elite of our society. Using interviews of these folks is a refreshing change from the treatment usually accorded them--by reading their words directly a more honest appreciation of their motives and actions can be gained than by a hundred articles by members of the press whose clear intent is to marginalize and demonize them. The people interviewed come across as intelligent and thoughtful, and they have not been afraid to approach questions of race with honesty and a hardness that is rarely expressed publicly. They are not put off by the taboos of a larger society that is intent on committing racial suicide through a multicultural fantasy, and the description of their struggles is at once heart-warming and inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating insights into the minds of white nationalists., May 10, 2004
By Marshall North "MNorth" (Fitchburg MA USA) - See all my reviews
White nationalists are often portrayed in the media as violent, hateful idiots. This book provides a much needed antidote to such stereotypes. If you think one can't simultaneously be a white nationalist and a thoughtful, caring person, then you MUST read this book. Most of the people profiled -- via their own words, I might add -- come across as being intelligent, caring people who, more than anything, simply want a better life for themselves and their children. Robert S. Griffin has done a great service to white nationalists by publishing this book.
