“The prevailing vision of history, as an egalitarian pageant of equally valid, self-authenticating "perspectives" on the past representing the "voices" of particular groups, is dangerous to society at large. It reserves a special place for everyone, which is exciting news for political extremists, con-artists, and megalomaniacs eager to register their self-interested propaganda as legitimate contributions to a "broader perspective" of history.”

“Telling people what they want to hear may not help them in the long run, though it usually helps the tellers in the short run. This is common sense. But many of today's academics do not think and act like common people.”

“In the fashion of an alcoholic hitting rock-bottom, perhaps it is high time for Americans to confront a dangerous paradox that has been hanging in our collective blind spot for far too long: how do we pour over race, day in and day out, without unwittingly internalizing its ideology?”
