During the past four decades, Europe and the United States have undergone and continue to undergo demographic changes of unprecedented proportions. The public debate on immigration (if one takes place at all) is between "assimilation" and "multiculturalism," in other words, between encouraging immigrants to adopt host cultures or maintain ethnic loyalties and boundaries. But is the assimilation of different races and cultures into Western societies possible or desirable? Moreover, can any multicultural or multiracial nation-state achieve lasting social harmony? Such questions are critical and consequential, and yet they have become increasingly unspeakable. In The Perils of Diversity, Byron M. Roth brings a much-need perspective to the immigration debate the science of human nature. Any policy of mass immigration, Roth argues, will be profoundly constrained by the fundamental features of human psychology. Prominent among these are heritable differences in intelligence and behavior, as well as the natural tendency toward trusting one s own extended kin group and being suspicious of and sometimes hostile towards others. Roth explores the history of immigration into Europe and the United States and addresses the disturbingly undemocratic nature of the regime of mass immigration, which is imposed on the citizens of Western nations in defiance of their clearly expressed wishes. The chasm between elite views and public opinion is so stark that current policies can only be maintained by an increasingly totalitarian suppression of dissent, one that undermines the foundations and identities of Western societies.

Editorial Reviews

Review

That immigration is the most intellectually stimulating of all political topics is demonstrated by Byron M. Roth's ambitious new book, The Perils of Diversity.

--Steve Sailer at vdare.com/sailer/110213_byron_roth.htm

Roth argues that policy is uninformed by evolutionary biology and psychology. In his work he examines the intersection between culture, genetics, IQ and society.
--Fjordman at gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2010/12/book-review-perils-of-diversity.html

Though long and ambitious, The Perils of of Diversity reads easily, and rewards the reader with a thorough grasp of the crisis we face...offers us a cornucopia of information and argument... --F. Roger Devlin in American Renaissance, January 2011

Roth has written a fantastic book; well-researched, science-based, and full of useful information and sharp observations. --Ole J. Anfindsen at honestthinking.org/

Byron Roth has done a terrific job setting out his gloomy but indisputable analysis of the future of the European peoples in his closely argued book. Prof. Richard Lynn --alternativeright.com/main/blogs/hbd-human-biodiversity/a-whimper-and-a-bang/

A Comprehensive, Thoughtful and Utterly Depressing Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

The author's conclusion is basically that only a severe economic event that rivals the Great Depression might wake up Western European and American powers enough to take the actions necessary to preserve Western Civilization. He paints a dark picture of America and Europe's futures. This is a scholarly, cited and thoughtful look at science and history with respect to immigration and race. It is not racist or preachy, yet I am sure that it would offend many. It is sad that so many are too busy watching "Dancing With the Stars" and "Jersey Shore" to ever to bother to read it. I have read a number of books dealing with race relations and immigration issues, and this is by far the best and most comprehensive. It is not a quick read, and it is overwhelming. It should be required reading, but I have no doubt that it would be banned on high school and even college campuses for not following the prescribed politically correct indoctrination curricula. If some day archaeologists are digging through the layers of America and Europe, wondering what happened, I hope they somehow manage to unearth a copy of this book. More probably they will just find DVDs of "Jersey Shore" and that will tell them enough.

Depressing but Well Written and Sourced

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is not exactly uplifting -- because we're doomed -- but it does put things in perspective for those who find it hard to believe that encroaching progressive State sponsored tyranny has actually encroached and is fully upon us. Roth is a friendly writer, accessible, but rigorous and backs up his assertions carefully. I understand that some readers will dismiss some of his sources out of hand (judging on heresy and not true knowledge) but so what? This is important reading for anyone who understands the precipice we are standing on - so you'll know when to jump.

Multiculturalism?!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent work that provides much needed analysis of current Western policies and ideology, historical truths, and likely future. It can no longer be denied that Western elites are facilitating the destruction of the culture that has provided the light to the world. It is time for all to do their duty by brining knowledge of the truth to the masses.

Modern genetic influences

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

I found the material very informative. I think it should be required reading for all educators. Not all people can learn at the same pace or level. Genetic and environmental issues are the basis for our abilities. Many ideas formed years ago have to be modified by genetic and epicenetic histories.

If you believe non-selective mass immigration is a good thing, you need to read this.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

Dr. Roth obviously did his homework. This work reflects some original thinking and a great deal of research. He is short on opinion and long on facts to support his arguments.
One can't help concluding that we have been doing an awful lot of everything wrong, and our refusal to think critically, as opposed to emotionally, has cost us a great deal.
Neither all races nor all cultures are equal, and refusing to consider them as important considerations in immigration policy is a fast road to national suicide.

Think about the consequences

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

This academic asks valid questions in the general vein of "why do policy makers/legislators make decisions on immigration policy based on ideology rather than consulting relevant research, no matter how "politically incorrect" it might be"?

This is a thought provoking work. I recommend it.

Fundierter Überblick über die Nachteile massenhafter Migration

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on October 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Das Buch mag zwar seinen Fokus auf Amerika haben und ist nicht auf deutsch erhältlich, jedoch kann ich jedem nur empfehlen es zu lesen. Dinge wie Intelligenz- oder Temperamentunterschiede verschiedener menschlicher Rassen, entstanden aufgrund unterschiedlicher Selektionsdrücke in der Entstehungsgeschichte unserer Spezies, führen naemlich in unserer heutigen, technologisch-wissenschaftlich basierten Welt zu einer Fehlanpassung dieser Zuwanderer an die Umwelt der Moderne. Dies äußert sich hierzulande beispielsweise in höherer durchschnittlicher Kriminalität, Abhängigkeit von Sozialleistungen und kultureller Inkompabilität. Fakten wie diesen und noch viele weitere sind gut belegt in diesem Buch beschrieben. Empfehlenswert!
