From the book:
The
moving out to investigate the real West the Westness of us, that is the
real openness, newness, freshness, innovation of America the promise is
to finally see that this promise has been the threatened future of this
world of European invention and discovery, colonialism and capitalism
and imperialism and always war and this Afro Asian Latino world of
submission and imprisonment and defeat. But it has been that tribe of
Dorn's that has also slipped outside the well advertised virtues of
this hell and to include them in the torture must make Dorn then search
outside the given, outside the relentlessly stated lie of American
democracy to see that America and its place in the world for what they
actually are.
