Occidental Quarterly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Occidental Quarterly describes itself as "a journal of Western thought and opinion." The journal's name derives from its "devotion to discussing the ethnic, racial and cultural heritage that forms the foundation of Western Civilization [as well as] the contemporary political, social and demographic trends that affect this tradition." It has been described as a white nationalist journal that seeks to direct American conservatism in the direction of an Anglo-Saxon cultural and racialist ideology.[1]
The journal is published by the Charles Martel Society (not to be confused with France's anti-Algerian Charles Martel Group), named in honor of Charles Martel, who halted a Muslim invasion of Europe at the Battle of Tours in 732. They explicitly reject neoconservatism and call for a "third school" to emerge from paleoconservatism in the from of an ideology of White European identity politics, and holds that the American political order of freedom and liberty is under ethnic and ideological threat. Its foreign policy positions, broadly, are anti-immigration and isolationism, including the rejection of influence from Israel and Mexico on U.S. politics.
The current editor of Occidental Quarterly is Kevin Lamb. Its publisher is William Regnery II. Editorial advisory board members include Virginia Abernethy, Richard Lynn, Kevin B. MacDonald, Wayne Lutton, and Brent Nelson [2]. Jared Taylor, of the American Renaissance magazine, is a past member [3]. Sam Francis was an associate editor until his death.
In response to criticism, Regnery defended the editorial board, stating: "Of the thirteen individuals on its editorial board, ten hold Ph.D's and two others are editors of their own publications. All are respected writers in their own fields." [4]
