This book is a memoir and cultural critique by a Jamaican-born American citizen, detailing my journey as an immigrant, athlete, and father across the United States. It challenges narratives of racial division, emphasizes the role of faith, family, and freedom in American identity, and critiques socialist policies impacting communities, particularly Americans of African descent. The book comprises a preface, eight chapters (including “American Story,” which reflects on the nation’s founding principles and challenges), references, and an author biography, offering historical insights and personal experiences to promote unity and liberty.

Setting

The narrative primarily unfolds across several key locations and time periods. It begins with the author's formative years in Jamaica, including a disciplined boarding school experience, providing the foundation for his values. The story then transitions to the United States in the late 1990s, specifically Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, where he attended as a student-athlete. Subsequent chapters detail his travels across numerous American states for athletic competitions and later for his professional work in the building industry, offering a broad view of the country from the late 20th century into the 21st century. The intellectual and ideological setting is contemporary American political and social discourse.

Themes & Motifs

The Primacy of Faith, Family, and Freedom: Bernard consistently argues that these three pillars are the essential foundations for individual and societal flourishing. He presents them as God-ordained principles that are under assault by modern secular and socialist ideologies, and his personal journey is framed by their importance.

Challenging Dominant Racial Narratives: A central theme is the author's critique of the contemporary discourse on race in America. He posits that race has been weaponized for political purposes, leading to "manufactured division" and obscuring more fundamental ideological conflicts and the importance of personal responsibility. He argues that "it's more than race."

The Immigrant's Perspective as a Lens on American Exceptionalism: Bernard uses his experience as a Jamaican immigrant to highlight the opportunities and fundamental goodness he found in America. This perspective serves to counter narratives of systemic oppression and to affirm America's potential, rooted in its founding ideals.

    A little gem that illuminates and informs the most important conversations in America today

    Claston Bernard tells the story of America through his eyes as a Jamaican immigrant, and the story is inspiring. As an elite athlete, as a laborer, and as a father, he has emerged from his immersive experience in America as a true patriot. It is a joy to hear his story through this well-researched and extremely accessible little book. It is really a gem. I expect this author will be a rising star as a speaker, as a public servant, and in many other arenas as he pursues his passion for faith, freedom, and family.

    “In America, It’s More Than Race”should be required reading for all high school students. Bernards historical research on the origins of slavery in the US and the evil effect it had on all Americans is spelled out expertly. His positive experiences in college at LSU are testament to how race and division in the media and politics are used as weapons and not embraced as a cultural diversity for good in America. Claston Bernard should also be quoted with the likes of Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steele. A very logical and to-the-point read.
