Book excerpt: Cervantes's Don Quixote, on his old nag Racinante, struggled mightily against the demise of chivalry and the end of the world as he perceived it to be. An Ambiguity Named Freedom is the story of a modern-day Quixote-a Yankee living in old Dixie, straddling the racial divide, and struggling mightily to understand what was happening as America erupted into racial and cultural chaos in the 1960s. Despite growing up in progressive Minnesota during the Great Depression and World War II, author Wallace Hystad spent much of his life paddling steadily against the liberal-progressive tide in America. An Ambiguity Named Freedom presents the real stories and dreams of thousands of Americans-black and white, rich and poor, educated and uneducated, white-collar, blue-collar, and no-collar-who opened their homes and shared their aspirations for a better life with the author. See how little has changed in the last fifty years. Understand how our growing welfare state and other liberal-progressive causes have been rapidly moving us away from the country of freedom and equality that was envisioned by our founders. An Ambiguity Named Freedom is an unapologetic effort to subdue those dragons shooting secular-progressive flames outward from the national media, academia, Washington, the courtroom, and even a few pulpits and a plea for 'We, the people, ' to stand up and restore this country to the beacon of hope and democracy it once was
