ah, yes, I read Alien Nation when I was new to this
Thanks guys, I do have that in my amazon cart so maybe I’ll start there. Also been eying Identity Rising and Signs of Identity, you guys read those?
been meaning to read it again now that I'm more knowledgeable and would probably understand it better
I haven't read either of those personally
I purchased Identity Rising and was very off put by the guy's writing style. Put down less than 15% through. Could just be my personal taste.
Awesome thanks for the recommendations guys.
do you want stuff that isn't political, but is tangentially related?
if you're new to this, A Troublesome Inheritance is a pretty good introduction to race science and a pretty easy read
it's not that long of a book, so it should be cheap
the guy who wrote it is actually a liberal, but most of the science is pretty solid
and AmRen has a review of the book that I think summarizes fairly well what the author missed
@Jacob I’m finishing up Johnson’s Manifesto. He mentions IE as a pillar of effective white advocacy. All in all, a lot of the book feels like WN 1.0, but it was a good / quick read.
I think it might feel like 1.0 because a lot of the stuff he discusses isn't really stuff that we generally lead in with
Though it's stuff we do need answers to
Ok cool I have heard of that one as well @Jacob, I have been eying some on race science. Does the Bell Curve fall into that category? Also I saw one called Race: The Realities of Human Differences
The Bell Curve is more of a general book on IQ
Which is still a useful topic to know about, but I personally think that's it's something we focus on too much
It's also extremely long. I don't know if anyone actually reads it front to back. I think your time will be better spent on books that are shorter and have more relevant information.
I haven't heard of that second book, but Iooked it up and it sounds interesting
Troublesome Inheritance is probably the first one anyone should read on race science
There's also Race, Evolution and Behavior
10,000 Year Explosion is one I've heard recommended a lot that is related to race science
It's actually on our "official" reading list
Cool thanks for all the options yeah I think a couple of the shorter ones would be better diving into before I hit bell curve. I think I’ll read the WNM and then a troublesome inheritance
That sounds like a good plan
Thanks for the help man
Of course. We like having more activity in the server, so come by if you have more questions or if there's just something interesting you read and wanna comment on.
Yeah for sure I’ll keep it in mind and hop back in here!
Definitely make sure you read the 10,000 Year Explosion.
Why Race Matters was good.
I’ll definitely do that
All set. Welcome! @Hans Fassbinder
Great to be here
When will you begin reading your next book? Lewis & Clark grabs my attention obviously since part of my heritage.
We will decide scheduling after Sunday 3/3, when members are required have it purchased and possessed.
Ok thanks!
I bought the book and started reading. Can someone familiar with the book answer a question? There seems to be a redundancy in entries by Clark. The same entry is repeated at least twice. Is this the case throughout the book? Why is the book setup this way?
@Ryan -NJ I have a rare version of the De Voto edition - it was not set up this way. I just purchased the paperback version so I can mark it for note taking. I will let you know if it is laid out this way, but I think it's more likely your version may be flawed.
@CarletonJ I bought it via the link. On Amazon. Kindle version.
