White Identity Politics
San Francisco: Counter-Currents, 2020
180 pages
White Identity Politics is the sequel to Greg Johnson’s ground-breaking work The White Nationalist Manifesto. Like the Manifesto, it is a slender volume, written in a highly accessible style in order to maximize its readership and impact.
Part One of White Identity Politics argues that white identity politics is inevitable as a consequence of multiculturalism, necessary if whites are to survive, and completely moral. It also deals with the three foundational concepts of white identity politics: race, ethnicity, and love of one’s own.
Part Two of White Identity Politics surveys some useful academic studies that help us understand the roots and prospects of white identity politics and how to better connect with our constituency. The books discussed include Roger Eatwell and Matthew Goodwin’s National Populism, Eric Kaufmann’s Whiteshift, Ashley Jardina’s White Identity Politics, and Yoram Hazony’s The Virtue of Nationalism.
Part Three of White Identity Politics defends the legitimacy of white identity politics from such critics as Francis Fukuyama, Mark Lilla, William Galston, Jan-Werner Müller, and others.

What are the dimensions of the standard paperback and hardcovers?
Ps. I think the cover is a bit boring. Perhaps add a some more color and contrast? Now its all white and gray.
The book dimensions are 5.5 x 8.5
Perhaps I’m being petty, but I have to ask whether the typefaces used on the front cover truly complement each other. I’m not sure that combining a very old style of lettering with a very modern style of lettering is appropriate here, even if the combination is archeofuturist.
Trajan is a very elegant titling typeface, designed by Carol Twombly and based on the lettering used on Trajan’s column. I’m not entirely sure what the other typeface is — it can be quite difficult to identify some typefaces when the specimen in question uses a bold sans serif font, all capitals, and relatively few letters — but I’m fairly confident that it’s Futura, given its widespread use in general and the fact that Futura is obviously used on the cover of The White Nationalist Manifesto and Toward a New Nationalism, while Futura Black is used on the cover of The Gizmo. (Futura was designed by Paul Renner, who in 1932 attacked National Socialism in a work titled Kulturbolschewismus? [Cultural Bolshevism?]. Nevertheless, Renner’s sins were not as perverse as those of Eric Gill, who committed incest and bestiality, or as despicable as those of Jonathan Hoefler, who swindled his former business partner Tobias Frere-Jones. Come to think of it, even Times New Roman was effectively designed by a communist “fellow traveler,” namely Stanley Morison . . . For some reason, writing all this reminds me that the French term for font is “police de caractères.”)
The front cover might look better if “Greg Johnson” was set in Trajan, in a somewhat smaller size, and with differences in the spacing between, and perhaps the size of, the elements below the picture of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, practical reason, and warfare. Trajan includes true small capitals, and it might be appropriate to use them on the cover.
But this is probably more than enough sperging on typography on my part. (Indeed, it might be quipped that many people turn the comments section on websites into spergatory, but damned few of them actually end up expiating their sins, i.e., their incivility, their lack of culture, and their wilful ignorance.) In any case, typography is a concern I should pursue elsewhere, perhaps into territory that is now unexplored or underexplored.
Beautiful sculpture on the cover. Is it Athena?
thanks, yes that is her
Apparently TRS can still take online credit card payments for subscriptions. Perhaps you could reach out to Mike Enoch and find out how they do it.
Yes we tried that.
