The Forbidden Identity
I met Jared Taylor again recently at the National Policy Institute’s 2011 conference in Washington D.C., where we were both speakers.We then coincided at a brunch that was held the morning after the event.

Black Metal: Conservative Revolution in Modern Popular Culture, Part 2

Black Metal: Conservative Revolution in Modern Popular Culture, Part 1
From the viewpoint of racial nationalism, the musical genre known as Black Metal is one of the most significant popular culture phenomena of the last two decades. Yet it has been seldom discussed by politically congenial scholars and commentators. This is surprising, since Black Metal runs counter to the post-World War II trends toward the progressive marginalization, condemnation,...

The Art of Jonathan Bowden, vol. 2: 1968-1974Jonathan BowdenLondon: The Spinning Top Club, 2009Last time I saw Jonathan Bowden, I asked him how he was.
