Book excerpt: In this, a sequel to Richard Varner’s first novel, The Journalist’s Children, the American Correspondent, Linda Hara, returns to Cruxville, Illinois after decades in Asia to confront the most daunting challenge of her life – facing her past. Linda is forty-eight, broke and has in tow her three-year-old, adopted Japanese kid, Naomi. She quickly settles into doing what Linda Hara does best, writing a provocative book -- Why We Are All Niggers ... And Racists, her deeply personal attack on the racist past which had destroyed her own family and sent her father to a mental institution for attempting to kill his then two-year-old daughter, Linda. The international adoption of Naomi forces Linda Hara to confront the role racism played in the formation of her own identity. Unexpectedly, Linda comes into a vast fortune, though of questionable origin, and she finds herself with the means to put to work in the real world the ideas for eradicating racism developed in her book. Now well financed, Linda’s plans gain the support of a renowned anthropologist, Professor Emeritus Hartford Keys, in whose field race has been discredited for decades as a baseless notion. Dr. Keys introduces Linda to his academic colleagues as well as to professors at the business school with the financial and media savvy to stir up the world. What ensues is the most treacherous conflict of Linda Hara’s long career as a journalist. The Japanese underworld attempts to recover their lost assets, which have been diverted through a cunning plan into Linda Hara’s control. The gangsters are joined in attacking Linda by religious fundamentalists, white supremacists, a conservative talk show host and an enraged black scholar, not to mention mainstream America, all of whom vehemently reject her far reaching plans for education and popular culture, plans which within a few short days after publication of her book manage to capture worldwide attention through a media blitz. Like Galileo four hundred years before her, Linda Hara finds herself paying a dreadful price for being out ahead of her time with ideas that will change the way people view themselves, ideas that explain -- Why We Are All Niggers ... And Racists.
