Dinesh D'Souza was a senior domestic policy analyst in the Reagan White
House and is the author of six books whose topics range from multiculturalism
to patriotism.
D'Souza is currently the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at Stanford
University's Hoover Institution and his most recent publication is his 2002
book, What's So Great About America?, which the Wall Street Journal
says "...offers sharp and poignant observations on freedom and opportunity".
In the book, D'Souza takes on a trio of alleged "sins" committed by America
and the West: slavery, colonialism and decadence. Examining what makes the
United States unique in geopolitics, D'Souza says his work offers "the grounds
for a solid well-considered patriotism - the sort of patriotism that America
will need to sustain itself in the many challenges that lie ahead".
His other books include Letters To A Young Conservative (2002),
The Virtue Of Prosperity: Finding Values In An Age Of Techno-Affluence
(2000), Ronald Reagan: How An Ordinary Man Became An Extraordinary
Leader (1997), The End Of Racism (1995) and Illiberal
Education (1991).
D'Souza's articles on culture and politics have appeared in Vanity Fair,
Forbes, Harper's, the Wall Street Journal, Atlantic Monthly, the Washington
Post and the New York Times. He has been featured on numerous television
programs, including "This Week With David Brinkley," "Nightline," "Crossfire,"
"Firing Line," "Good Morning America," and "Politically Incorrect."
He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1983.
