Don't know what Wade might assess if he looked at Jewish DNA, whether it is difference enough to call a race of people, but most certainly a tribe. If one looks at the patent history of Israel, you conclude they are quite innovative and Jewish names are prominent in science. The Germans were quite stupid to isolate their genius. It has always amazed me that so many cling to the Democrat party in spite of being always treated poorly.
Thanks for the review. I do see all three available from Amazon. They say your book was from 2002. The next was 2019 and the last 2022. His page http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/books.htm lists them and notes "Praeger has gotten out of the business of publishing and distributing these books, but they are now available in paperback editions, each with a preface that updates the original and explores topics not in the original editions." I do see he says there are some Amazon issues that I don't quite understand. He seems open to his critics. His very detailed replies http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/replies.htm are interesting to consider as well.
Thanks Graham! A bright summary and insightful overview of the book. You always get glowing reviews of your book reviews, easy to see why. Also, very brave of you to go public on the JQ. Very rarely do people do that unless they are an outright dissident. My understanding is that Kevin initially researched this topic out of intellectual curiosity as he knew many Jews personally and saw how clanish they were. This book actually got positive reviews in mainstream press, I think the Culture of Critique was where it turned quite political and hostile to them as he felt a stunning betrayal while researching the 1965 immigration law changes which set off a change of events that effectively doomed the US (similar laws were passed in Canada, Australia, NZ etc. which were strongly advocated for by Jewish activists). It will be very interesting to see what the world will be like in 100 years and whether Israel can survive - it seems long term suicide to bring in millions of Muslims to Europe who want it destroyed and also the far left i.e. ANTIFA are anti Israel as well, as they see it as a European colony implemented on brown people. I can't help but feeling without their destructive influence on the West, we would still be homogenous countries, literally colonising planets by now....
a fine companion to his work is Pinker's The Blank Slate.
