The Plot to Change America: How Identity Politics is Dividing the Land of the Free Hardcover – July 28, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
The first myth that this book exposes is that identity politics is a grassroots movement, when from the beginning it has been, and continues to be, an elite project. For too long, we have lived with the fairy tale that America has organically grown into a nation gripped by victimhood and identitarian division; that it is all the result of legitimate demands by minorities for recognition or restitutions for past wrongs. The second myth is that identity politics is a response to the demographic change this country has undergone since immigration laws were radically changed in 1965. Another myth we are told is that to fight these changes is as depraved as it is futile, since by 2040, America will be a minority-majority country, anyway. This book helps to explain that none of these things are necessarily true.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2022Loved the historical background that places this crisis in context. Most of this attack evolved during my lifetime, but I had been aware of it only in the last decade. A must read for my kids and their spouses (30's), for their benefit and for my grandchildren.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020This book is helping me understand the origins of the identity politics that is dividing the USA. Here's a quote, "An important reason why grievances proliferate today is, in fact, the Marxism that became the ideological fashion among intellectuals of the 20th century. To their great chagrin, the Marxists realized that a satisfied working man, one who aspired to better his life and gain further comforts through his own hard work, would never overthrow the American system. ... Campaigns of indoctrination would need to be deepened and expanded, and perhaps economic conditions should not be used as the basis for instilling resentment. People can aspire to change their economic situation, after all. What they cannot change is their race or sex. ... To convince people that they were outcasts required grievance-mongering. That effort was so successful that it led to something new in America. ...in 2014 sociologists Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning identified a third culture present in America, which they call the "culture of victimhood". The victimhood paradigm is predicated on a collectivist understanding of society, rather than the individualist striving and voluntary civil associations that Alexis de Tocqueville identified as the hallmark of America." Saul Alinsky, Hillary Clinton's mentor, was actively involved in this kind of 'community organizing'. The Ford Foundation funded much of the research into how to create the racial factions (like the Hispanic category). The result of this top down elitist project has been not only the racial and sexual divides we now see in the USA but the contrast between the blue-collar class who voted for President Trump and the indoctrinated college educated who scorn them.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2021Chapter five, "Marxism by Any Other Name," is the clearest, most powerfully written history of Marxism and neo-Marxism (aka Critical Theory) I've read. It is imperative that all American patriots understand the ideas behind this movement, where they came from, and how they have manifest themselves in the U.S. by the far left. This chapter alone is worth buying the entire book for.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020Here's a sample sentence fairly typical of what you'll encounter:
"Marx and Engels, as disciples of Hegel, appropriated his concept of the dialectic—a thesis confronted by an antithesis, reconciled in a synthesis—into their dialectical materialism, which they employed to critique economic forces."
If you're like me and struggle with that type of writing, you might find this book more trouble than it's worth. Alternatively, if you've got the brainpower to process that type of prose without difficulty, then have at it!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021This is a concise, but detailed, history of the effort to sew discontent, threaten individual liberty, destroy the rule of law and undermine the principals of the most free, most inclusive, most protective and most successful society in the history of the world and replace it with an autocracy of literati who thrive, both emotionally and economically, on contrived misery of their supposed inferiors, whom they claim to champion.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020I highly recommend this book to anyone interested and concerned about how pro-Marxist critical theory and Postmodernist thought is being taught by scholars in our universities and applied by activists on the streets in their efforts to destroy the American social and political systems our Founders provided.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020This book was one of the best sources to identify the philosophical and political forces behind the powerful thrust of identity politics.
I now understand so much better the motives behind the attempt to defeat the most effective melting pot the world has ever known.
Disease and financial upheaval have become opportunities to divide and conquer the country.
Doubt if this attempt will prevail since most everyone I know is an assimilated minority.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021Don't be fooled by one-star reviews written by Marxists or students who have been duped into hating America and capitalism by their college professors. If you want to know everything about identity politics, this is the book to read. It is vital information for every citizen who loves his country and wants to save America.
