Macmillan Reference USA<\/a> has just published an ‘Encyclopedia of Race and Racism<\/a>‘. I’m inherently wary of efforts like this, but this one is over the top…<\/p>\n

Harry’s Place points out<\/a> that, first it has a category for ‘Zionism’ and next that that section was written by a noted anti-semite and the author of the webzine ‘Race Traitor<\/a>‘. You can imagine what he wrote.<\/p>\n

Go over and read about the whole shameful episode. My personal favorite is the response from the publisher of the encyclopedia, Frank Menchaca.<\/p>\n

“After careful review of arguments from both sides,” he wrote to David Harris, “neither Mr. Moore (John Hartwell Moore, the encyclopedia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Editor in Chief) nor I feel we can operate as arbitrators of these controversies.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Right. having published this calumny, they can’t be responsible for standing behind its validity. It’s as though they hired Velikovsky to do the section on the solar system.<\/p>\n

I am passionately opposed to efforts to limit free speech, but I am equally passionate about truth in advertising. This book is no more an ‘encyclopedia’ than this blog is, and I’ll both be letting the folks at McMillan<\/a> know my feelings about it and I’ll be visiting my local library. I have no problem with the library holding this book – just as I’d have no problem with the library holding Mein Kampf or State and Revolution. But let’s not offer it the authority of being considered an encyclopedia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
