An excerpt from this essay, reproduced with Fair Use standards in mind, is as follows:
According to Pierce, the individual only attains meaning within the
context of the group to which he belongs. In his novel Hunter, Pierce
expressed the notion that whites, unlike other racial and ethnic groups, were
not really fully aware of the dynamics of racial competition as one character
in the novel explained:
Progress comes when all the competitors in the game struggle for
survival, and the most fit wins. Our race isn't struggling. It's lying
down and dying. Our job is to wake it up. When it's trying to survive,
it'll whip all the other races with its hands tied behind its back.
