Dinesh D'Souza rose to national prominence as one of the founders
of the Dartmouth Review, a leading voice in the rebirth of
conservative politics on college campuses in the 1980s.He fired the
first popular shot against political correctness with his
best-selling expose Illiberal Education. Now, after serving as a
Reagan White House staffer, the managing editor of Policy Review,
and a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover
Institution, he addresses the next generation in Letters to a Young
Conservative . Drawing on his own colourful experiences, both
within the conservative world and while skirmishing with the left,
D'Souza aims to enlighten and inspire young conservatives and give
them weapons for the intellectual battles that they face in high
school, college, and everyday life. Letters to a Young Conservative
also illuminates the enduring themes that for D'Souza anchor the
conservative position: not "family values" or patriotism, but a
philosophy based on natural rights and a belief in universal moral
truths.With a light touch, D'Souza shows that conservatism needn't
be stodgy or defensive, even though it is based on preserving the
status quo. To the contrary, when a conservative has to expose
basic liberal assumptions to scrutiny, he or she must become a kind
of imaginative, fun-loving, forward-looking guerrilla-
philosophically conservative but temperamentally radical.Among the
topics Dinesh D'Souza covers in Letters to a Young Conservative :
Fighting Political CorrectnessAuthentic vs. Bogus
MulticulturalismWhy Government Is the ProblemWhen the Rich Get
RicherHow Affirmative Action Hurts BlacksThe Feminist MistakeAll
the News That FitsHow to Harpoon a LiberalThe Self-Esteem HoaxA
Republican Realignment?Why Conservatives Should Be Cheerful
