University Lecturer in French Peter Collier

Thirty years after the civil rights movement there remains in the black community a destructive pall of anger and hatred fueled by lingering white guilt and exploited by opportunists in the black elite. The eighteen essays in the book take a hard look at a different color of racism, where history is rewritten to fit racial sensibilities and the term "racist" is used to bully people into silence.

White Guilt, Black Resentment, and the Assault on Truth and Justice

The Race Card

Peter Collier

This study of Proust's famous novel A la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past) focuses on Venice, one of the hero's central obsessions, and shows how a whole network of allusions to art (from Titian to Turner, from Byzantine mosaic to Fortuny dresses) ties in with the hero's quest for self-knowledge and self-fulfilment.
