Synopsis

""Take Your Choice: Separation Or Mongrelization"" is a controversial book written by Theodore G. Bilbo that was first published in 1947. In this book, Bilbo argues that the United States is facing a crisis of racial purity and that the only way to preserve the white race is through strict segregation and the prevention of interracial marriage. He asserts that the mixing of races will lead to the downfall of civilization and the degradation of the white race. The book is filled with racist and inflammatory language that has been widely criticized. Bilbo was a segregationist and white supremacist who served as a U.S. Senator from Mississippi. Despite the book's controversial nature, it has been cited by some as an example of the extreme racism that existed in the United States during the mid-twentieth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bilbo was America's most controversial politician ever elected to high office, including the governorship and senate of the state of Mississippi. An avowed Southern nationalist, Bilbo was even a member of the Ku Klux Klan in his youth, although he left that organisation before he was elected to office. A firm defender of Southern segregation, Bilbo was unusual in that he realized that segregation was no answer and invoked considerable opposition from his fellow Southerners because of his demand that physical geographical separation was the only way to preserve Western Civilization. "If we choose any plan short of the physical separation of the races, we are in effect adopting the scheme of amalgamation of the races. Any student of racial history knows that if the Negroes remain in the United States, the last American will be an octoroon or a mongrel . . . If the Negroes are not removed, this condition may come about in three to five hundred years: The fact that it will come sooner or later is a certainty."
