AmRen - Thomas Jackson reviews 'El Norte or Bust! Behind the Surge from Guatemala' by David Stoll - "Indigenous Guatemalans are a miserable lot who have no business in our country; they come for one reason–to make money–and will lie and cheat to get here and stay here; the main thing foreign aid does is whet the appetite for more foreign aid; aid programs are run by dopes." (Brief flickers of race sanity at Middlebury College.)

Behind the Surge from Guatemala

Thomas Jackson, American Renaissance, August 29, 2014

An eye-opening account of Central American dystopia.

David Stoll, El Norte or Bust!, Rowman & Littlefield, 2013, 281 pp., $32.95.

Why are all those unaccompanied minors coming here from Central America? El Norte or Bust! is an eye-opening–even astonishing–account of how indigenous Guatemalans live, why they come north, and what happens when they do. It was written before the latest wave of minors, but casts a pitiless light on the motives and methods of Central American peasants who take huge risks to get into the United States.

The author, David Stoll, is a far-far-left anthropologist at Middlebury College in Vermont. He would love to think of indigenous Guatemalans as noble creatures, faithful to ancient Mayan traditions, but he is too honest to paint them in false colors. These people are materialistic primitives, both gullible and exploitative, who treat women like cattle, and are incapable of building a modern society. Studying their antics may be great fun for academics, but these are obviously not people we want in our country. ...

     A fine review. Some credit can be given to David Stoll for reporting findings that are the opposite of what his leftist brothers and sisters believe and propagandize, even if in his book he has to find various lefty escape hatches to jump out of. On the other hand, science is what scientists are supposed to be doing! But you have to wonder if the good professor, while uncovering this grotesque dystopia, ever realized that his findings are really a condemnation of the entire field of anthropology, since it and the other social sciences, having been taken over the 1960s, are imbued with a religious-like zeal that assumes the nobility of Third World cultures, especially when compared to the evil White 'racist' West. And if Stoll did notice this, is he now imparting the fascinating news to his own students? 

(Fat chance.)
