Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. You can't truly understand the country you're living in without reading Williamson. --Rich Lowry, National Review His observations on American culture, history, and politics capture the moment we're in--and where we are going. --Dana Perino, Fox News An Appalachian economy that uses cases of Pepsi as money. Life in a homeless camp in Austin. A young woman whose r sum reads, Topless Chick, Uncredited. Remorselessly unsentimental, Kevin D. Williamson is a chronicler of American underclass dysfunction unlike any other. From the hollows of Eastern Kentucky to the porn business in Las Vegas, from the casinos of Atlantic City to the heroin rehabs of New Orleans, he depicts an often brutal reality that does not fit nicely into any political narrative or comfort any partisan. Coming from the world he writes about, Williamson understands it in a way that most commentators on American politics and culture simply can't. In these sometimes savage and often hilarious essays, he takes readers on a wild tour of the wreckage of the American republic--the white minstrel show of right-wing grievance politics, progressive politicians addicted to gambling revenue, the culture of passive victimhood, and the reality of permanent poverty. Unsparing yet never unsympathetic, Big White Ghetto provides essential insight into an enormous but forgotten segment of American society.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The most profane, hilarious, and insightful book I've read in quite a while. -- BEN SHAPIRO Kevin Williamson's gonzo merger of polemic, autobiography, and batsh*t craziness is totally brilliant. -- JOHN PODHORETZ, Commentary Ideological minorities - including the smallest minority, the individual - can get trampled by the unity stampede (as my friend Kevin Williamson masterfully elucidates in his new book, The Smallest Minority). -- JONAH GOLDBERG The Smallest Minority is the perfect antidote to our heedless age of populist politics. It is a book unafraid to tell the people that they're awful. -- NATIONAL REVIEW Williamson is blistering and irreverent, stepping without doubt on more than a few toes--but, then again, that's kind of the point. -- THE NEW CRITERION Stylish, unrestrained, and straight from the mind of a pissed-off genius. -- THE WASHINGTON FREE BEACON Kevin Williamson is shocking and brutal (RUTH MARCUS, Washington Post), a total jack**s (WILL SALETAN, Slate), and totally reprehensible (PAUL KRUGMAN, New York Times). Reader beware: Kevin D. Williamson--the lively, literary firebrand from National Review who was too hot for The Atlantic to handle--comes to bury democracy, not to praise it. With electrifying honesty and spirit, Williamson takes a flamethrower to mob politics, the beast with many heads that haunts social media and what currently passes for real life. It's destroying our capacity for individualism and dragging us down the Road to Smurfdom, the place where the deracinated demos of the Twitter age finds itself feeling small and blue. The Smallest Minority is by no means a memoir, though Williamson does reflect on that tawdry little episode with The Atlantic in which he became all-too-intimately acquainted with mob outrage and the forces of tribalism. Rather, this book is a dizzying tour through a world you'll be horrified to recognize as your own. With biting appraisals of social media (an economy of Willy Lomans, political hustlers (that certain kind of man or woman.who will kiss the collective ass of the mob), journalists (a contemptible union of neediness and arrogance) and identity politics (identity is more accessible than policy, which requires effort), The Smallest Minority is a defiant, funny, and terrifyingly insightful book about what we human beings have done to ourselves.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Each year, the United States spends $65,000 per poor family to "fight poverty" -- in a country in which the average family income is just under $50,000. Meanwhile, most of that money goes to middle-class and upper-middle-class families, and the current U.S. poverty rate is higher than it was before the government began spending trillions of dollars on anti-poverty programs. In this eye-opening Broadside, Kevin D. Williamson uncovers the hidden politics of the welfare state and documents the historical evidence that proves Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" was designed to do one thing: maximize the number of Americans dependent upon the government. The welfare state was never meant to eliminate privation; it was created to keep Democrats in power.…
