Confessions of a Reluctant Hater
Confessions of a Reluctant Hater er en artikkelsamling hovedsaklig bestående av artikler, bok- og filmmeldinger og polemikker skrevet i årene 2000-2010 av redaktøren for forlaget og nettportalen Counter-Currents Publishing, Greg Johnson. Dette er hans første bok og er et forsøk på å gi en bred innføring i tankestrømningen han kaller White Nationalism, med andre ord hvit nasjonalisme. Johnson mener det finnes en dobbeltmoral i de vestlige samfunnene, da med et hovedfokus på hans hjemlige USA, der alle tenkelige minoriteter blir oppmuntret til å fremme og dyrke sin identitet, mens den hvite majoriteten på ulike sett straffes hardt for det samme. Boken er på et vis hans memoarer om hans mentale utvikling fra liberal libertarianer til å bli en ledende stemme innen den mangfoldige hvite identitære blokken. Johnson er hjernen bak den amerikanske utgaven av det Europeiske Nye Høyre, og han streber etter å etablere Counter-Currents Publishing som en sterk faktor i det amerikanske politiske og kulturelle landskapet.
Fra bokens innside
"Confessions of a Reluctant Hater is an accessible and challenging introduction to White Nationalism, written by one of the leading voices of the North American New Right.
Confessions of a Reluctant Hater contains 28 short essays, reviews, and opinion pieces that chronicle the author’s discovery of a white worldview and a white voice to defend it. Greg Johnson discusses multiculturalism, immigration, economic policy, the Tea Party, and the 2008 and 2010 elections, as well as Craig Bodeker’s A Conversation About Race films, Christian Lander’s Whiter Shades of Pale, and even the controversies surrounding the “Ground Zero” mosque and the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Greg Johnson also shows that White Nationalism is not a rigid, right-wing orthodoxy, by including searching and controversial essays on drug legalization, race-mixing, homosexuality, “West Coast White Nationalism,” and counter-culture guru Alan Watts. He also argues that White Nationalism will not triumph until white racial consciousness leaves its right-wing ghetto and becomes the common sense of the whole political spectrum.
Greg Johnson is a master of defending radical and uncompromising views with wit, clarity, seductive logic, and brutal frankness."
