At least since Oedipus met King Laius on the road from Delphi to Thebes, the image of a crossroads has signaled a dramatic and morally fraught turning point. It was with that cargo of significance in mind that The New Criterion decided to publish a special series of essays on "Western civilization at the crossroads" throughout this fortieth anniversary season. Featuring contributions by Conrad Black, Victor Davis Hanson, Roger Kimball, Andrew Roberts, and other luminaries, this book collects the ten special essays from The New Criterion's fortieth-anniversary season to assess where Western civilization is now, and where it's going.

This incisive collection of essays reveals the past, present, and future strength of black America as a beacon of hope for a nation grappling with its identity. In a society increasingly divided over race, discussing the state of black America candidly poses significant challenges; often, genuine discourse is overshadowed by hysteria and sentimentality. This volume aims to restore essential virtues to the conversation, bringing together scholars who confront the complexities of America's racial history while highlighting the potential within the American heritage for black individuals. The eight essays provide clarity in the often murky debates surrounding race, drawing on the latest scholarship to explore the experiences of black Americans. They narrate a story of remarkable success in integrating into mainstream culture and suggest that black patriotism is crucial for addressing remaining challenges. With contributions from various disciplines—history, economics, social science, and political philosophy—this collection serves as a "toolbox" of intellectual resources, fostering thoughtful engagement with one of the most pressing issues of our time. It features insights from notable scholars, offering a comprehensive perspective on the state of black America.

This book will consist of seven or more essays, critical in different ways of racial "diversity" preferences in American higher education.
