Is America a nation like any other, with a past marked by injustice and oppression? Or is America a shining city on a hill, marked by exceptionalism, one where the lamp of liberty and democracy burns brightly? Dinesh DāSouza has written Whatās So Great About America to respond to Americaās critics, who deny that there is anything unique about America. These critics include multiculturalists who allege historical racism and the oppression of minorities, Western leftists who see America as a force of evil, Third World intellectuals who deplore the legacy of colonialism, and Islamic fundamentalists who view America as culturally decadent and morally corrupt. In answering these critics, DāSouza argues that America is not only good, but that it is greatāindeed, it is the embodiment of freedomās ideal.
DāSouza makes a strong case for America, arguing that it is a free and prosperous society with unlimited opportunity for those seeking a better life. Yet despite his enthusiasm for America, his treatment of Americaās āsinsā is unsatisfactory, one-sided and does not result in the vindication of America from the claims of her critics.
In his response to Dinesh DāSouzaās Whatās So Great About America , Harold Palmer highlights Americaās three great sins: (i) the oppression of the Native Americans; (ii) slavery; and (iii) historic discrimination of African Americans and other minorities. Mr. Palmer argues that DāSouza fails to adequately respond to the accounts of Americaās critics with respect to any of these great sins or to the views of cultural conservatives who deplore America as āculturally decadent and morally degenerate.ā
Finally, in this volume, Mr. Palmer argues that DāSouza fundamentally misunderstands the meaning of āgreatness.ā In his constant repetition of the fact that America permits for economic opportunity, DāSouza forgets that greatness is not about material prosperity, but about virtue, temperance and justice. Notwithstanding DāSouzaās incessant focus on wealth, greatness can only ever be an attribute of a virtuous and upright society, regardless of its material prosperity.
