Ebook: Race and Reality: A Search for Solutions

"This book is a sequel to Carleton Putnam’s *Race and Reason*, which has sold over 150,000 copies since its publication six years ago. *Race and Reality* brings up-to-date the story begun in the earlier volume. Readers familiar with the latter will find summarized here Putnam’s essential viewpoint set in a fresh perspective. They will also find added documentation and much that throws new light on the world’s deepening racial crisis.

Written in the form of a midnight soliloquy, *Race and Reality* recounts the author’s experiences with the scientific hierarchy since 1961. It traces to its source our national bewilderment on the Negro question. It also reviews the balance of the evidence in regard to the hidden facts. The book then tells the inside story of the Stell trial and explores the methods by which the truth about it has been evaded and ignored. Finally, in a question and answer section similar to that in *Race and Reason*, it deals with the scores of related issues which so often confuse the central problem. In the last two chapters, it focuses on that problem and proposes a solution.

Stuart Campbell, in a lead review in the *American Bar Association Journal*, forecast that *Race and Reason* would become “one of the most important books of this generation.” The same might well be predicted for the present work.

W.G. Simpson, in his *Which Way Western Man?* (2003, 2 ed.) paper page 657, quotes from Putnam's *Race and Reality* paper page 88 [pdf page 42 of the present pdf], stating:

"Mr. Putnam brings out very tersely the significance of Professor van den Haag’s testimony before Judge Frank M. Scarlett’s court (Southern District of Georgia) in the 1963 case of Stell vs. Savannah, as follows:

“...in these words van den Haag drew a thumbnail sketch of a worldwide condition. And he confirmed a prescription for the hypnosis of millions. Indoctrinate a controlling group of scientists in a politically oriented, environmentalist dogma over a period of two generations; make a moral issue out of something immoral; persecute and suppress any dissenters; infiltrate the mass media, and finally persuade the courts by introducing only falsified evidence. Thereafter rely solely, in those courts, on the ‘majority’ view. Never again permit the truth to come to life if you can help it. Thus before my eyes at this trial had unrolled the pattern I had found everywhere else in our national life in almost exact duplication.” "
