Hardback. Condición: Good. For a half century or more, black people have labored under the spell of what Jesse Lee Peterson calls the alchemists. These are the race hustlers, media hacks, politicians, community organizers and the like who promise to fundamentally transform America. The transformation they promise, however, produces only fool's gold--unearned benefits like welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing, payouts from lawsuits, and maybe one day even reparations. Worse, to secure these counterfeit goods, recipients have to sacrifice something of infinite value: the sanctity of the two-parent family. It is a devil's bargain. To make this experiment work, the alchemists have created an ungodly and unhealthy environment, one in which the white population is made to feel guilty and the black population made to feel angry. The pattern in this is simple: children--black or white--when deprived of fathers, grow up angry at their parents. White children displace their anger in a thousand different directions. Black children channel theirs, for the most part, in a single destructive direction--towards and against white people. The alchemists encourage them to do this, enable them, and even reward them. This anger fuels the system and pays the alchemists' bills. As bleak as this all sounds, an antidote exists, which saved Peterson's life, that of his son, and those of countless young men who have been counseled at Peterson's organization, BOND. The perverse genius of liberalism has been its ability to capture black anger and project it outwards towards anyone, black or white, who resists the Democratic agenda. By encouraging a resentful dependency, liberals have instituted a new kind of slavery in the black community as emotionally shackling as the physical slavery that first brought Africans to America. Peterson knows this story from the inside as few other people do. Born on an Alabama plantation, he was abandoned by his father before he was born. After high school, Peterson moved to Los Angeles and for the next twenty years moved purposelessly through life, channeling his internal anger outwards towards white people and America in general. In the mission he has undertaken since, and in this hopeful book, Peterson shares what he learned on his personal road to Damascus.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A few years ago, just before Christmas, I started to read A Christmas Carol to our young daughter. I'm bored, she cried, after five minutes, so I stopped. I wasn't mad at her. She was right --- A Christmas Carol, which I loved all those years ago, wasn't fun for today's kids to listen to. The problem is time. Charles Dickens wrote the story in 1843, and viewed from the distance of almost two centuries, his language is dense and over-wrought. Do you need long descriptions of Victorian London? I don't think so --- you've seen it a zillion times on film and TV. Because I really wanted my daughter to know A Christmas Carol, I edited the text. It was 28,000 words. It's now 13,000. Nothing important is gone. I added only a few words of my own, just to make some connections. And Paige Peterson, a noted artist, has enriched the story with original --- and very striking --- illustrations. This version of A Christmas Carol is pure story. And what a story I'm going to read it to our daughter at Christmas, and this time I bet she'll like it. It's my hope that many other kids and their parents will too. Paige Peterson (ilustrador).…

Hardback. Condición: Good. This is a no-holds-barred analysis of contemporary liberalism and the havoc it is wrecking in American culture. From race, to abortion, to feminism, to immigration, to education, the ideas and public policies produced by the Left are collectivist and demagogic, hindering self-government and damaging lives, say Jesse Lee Peterson and Brad Stetson. Through the prism of Peterson's fascinating life experience and his history of grassroots community work on the streets of riot-torn south-central Los Angeles, Peterson and Stetson examine the violations of common sense and sound thinking that the current civil rights establishment constantly perpetrates against the American public. Peterson and Stetson point the way out of the statist mentality overtaking our public life, advocating a new culture of self-responsibility and moral renewal able to resuscitate the sagging spirits of an American public accustomed to looking everywhere but within for the solutions to their personal and political problems. Endorsed by bestselling authors Shelby Stele and Dinesh D'Souza, this insightful work-with a foreword from bestselling ethicist Dennis Prager and A Declaration of Racial Commonsense signed by some of the leading social critics in the nation-is certain to provoke intense debate and discussion.…
