Jared Taylor: Foreword To The Kindle Edition Of PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS - "This is, to me, the tragedy and mystery of our age. Why have whites given up the will to survive as a distinct people?"


Foreword To The Kindle Edition Of PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS

James Fulford writes: We've frequently referred to an “interglacial” period in the 90s, when mainstream publishers sponsored the publication of a number of best-selling [!] books on race that told the truth about America’s racial problems.
Jacob Weisbergreviewing Alien Nation in the New Yorker, wrote that this sort of thing shouldn’t be allowed. “Not so long ago, the literature of egregious bigotry was treated like pornography. You had to send for it by mail—from backwoods presses that advertised in the classified sections of conservative magazines—or frequent the political equivalent of dirty bookstores.”
Well, Jared Taylor’s classic Paved With Good Intentions is certainly the kind of book Weisberg would like to ban, yet it was published by Carrol & Graf in 1992, and reviewed in National Review by Peter Brimelow, in the Wall Street Journal by Clint Bolick, and many other mainstream outlets. (The Detroit Free Press didn't like it.)
Now, years later, it would be impossible to find a mainstream publisher for it, and it’s possible you could get fired for possessing it.
However, technology comes to your rescue—you can now download it onto your Kindle, iPhone, iPad, or Android device instantlyfor only seven dollars.

Again, I must begin with thanks to the people who made this edition possible. We live in evil times, and they have asked that I not mention them by name and I have reluctantly complied, but it is they and they alone who have kept this book alive.
Sadly, preservation of older books may be more important than ever. In the preface to the 2004 edition of Paved With Good Intentions, I mentioned half a dozen books that had appeared after mine in the 1990s and that seemed to presage a breakthrough on race. That breakthrough never came. The new century has seen an almost complete retreat by the mainstream press from anything but orthodoxy. Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending’s 2009 book,The 10,000 Year Explosion, is a startling exception.
Why did publishers show the white feather? It is part of the new Dark Age that has fallen across the entire Western world. . . .
