The Best of American Renaissance in 2017
AR Staff, American Renaissance, December 31, 2017
It has been a big year for American Renaissance in countless ways. Of the many things that have changed, we are now publishing considerably more articles than ever before. Because of that, we are going to highlight the best essays and reviews of 2017.
First Person Accounts
American Renaissance is perhaps most famous for its accounts of the often horrific realities of diversity and race differences written by people unfortunate enough to have witnessed it all firsthand. This year we published three truly engrossing accounts of this kind:
“How a Young Black Man Became a Race Realist,” by Robert Smith
“What Integration Means for White Prisoners,” by James R. Long
“How I Learned About Blacks,” by William Hendershot
Correct History
Much of the content in best-sellers and textbooks purports to be history, but is a mix of distortions and purposeful omissions. American Renaissance is always happy to correct the record. Three essays on the past really shined this year:
“Black Slavery in the Middle East,” by Steven Farron
“Argentina: A Mirror of Your Future,” by Gustavo Semeria
“Richard Nixon, Race Realist,” by Jared Taylor
Book Reviews
Out of all our reviews, two popular books, whose breakthrough into the mainstream was good in and of itself, demanded comment from an explicitly pro-white perspective:
The Strange Death of Europe by Douglas Murray — reviewed by Jared Taylor
Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance — reviewed by F. Roger Devlin
Good News
Friend and foe alike often comment that American Renaissance is a bit dour, and should be more uplifting. Here is our best “upbeat” writing from 2017:
“I Was There,” by Jared Taylor — on the inauguration of President Donald Trump
“Notes from a White Country,” by Jack Krak — serialized in several parts: One, Two, Three, and Four
“Boycott by Whites Threatens South African Restaurants,” by Dan Roodt
Original Journalism
2018 will see even more investigations and exposés unique to our website, but 2017 was an excellent start:
“Bill Kristol Says ‘Lazy, Spoiled’ White Working Class Should Be Replaced by Immigrants,” by Henry Wolff
“Silver Spring: Third-World Melting Pot in Maryland,” by Chris Roberts
“Anti-Trump Hate Map,” by Westley Parker
Politics
The majority of political commentary won’t name the elephant in the room undergirding every debate: racial conflict. Here are three of the most incisive instances of American Renaissance cutting to the chase:
“It’s About Erasing White People,” by Chris Roberts
“What Rep. Steve King’s ‘Racist’ Statements Teach,” by Ilana Mercer
“Why Yankees Must Defend Confederate Heritage,” by Henry Olson
Did we miss anything? Is one of our inclusions awful? Let us know in the comments!
