Anglophobia: The Unrecognized Hatred, by Harry Richardson and Frank Salter, is an excellent exposition of the hatred and dispossession of native White populations that is sweeping Western societies. Focusing particularly on Australia as a prime example, it is a valuable contribution to the effort to both inform European-descended peoples of the danger and injustice of the present situation and to motivate them to action on behalf of their legitimate interests.
Focusing on Anglos may be off-putting to some because it may seem to exclude European-descended groups not descended from the British Isles. However, the authors apply the term widely, to “people descended from the indigenous population of the British Isles in Australia and overseas as well as those who have assimilated into those populations. It can include people of European descent and western civilization as a whole” (5). Anglophobia, then, is hatred or mistrust directed at those populations. As they document in detail, Anglophobia is rife throughout the Western world, and often emanates from prominent figures in the elite media and academic world. Clearly Anglos and their interests are being systematically compromised.
As noted, this is a highly readable book, but it is also intellectually rigorous. Chapter 5, “Psychological and Biological Dimensions of Racism” notes that ethnocentrism is a biological universal that evolved for group living—likely in small groups of close kin. However, ethnocentrism spans a spectrum of variation, and “Anglos are among the world’s most individualist and least collectivist (in other words, non ‘racist’) cultures.” (16) Indeed, Western individualism is unique among the cultures of the world. But that doesn’t imply that Westerners have no tendency toward ethnocentrism at all, only that it is less central to Anglo cultures and more difficult to arouse. And when allegiance to the group is aroused, it is less likely to be directed at a group of co-ethnics, as we see with the phenomenon of civic nationalism—perhaps a fatal flaw in today’s multicultural West.
Underlying the theoretical basis of the book is Salter’s theory of ethnic genetic interests—that genetic diversity creates conflicts of interest between people and hence between people organized into ethnic groups, with the result that multiethnic, multicultural societies are prone to conflict: “As ethno-religious diversity increases, cohesion falls and conflict rises. Most people choose to live among their own people and to marry and make friends among them [as noted in their discussion of J. Philippe Rushton’s Genetic Similarity Theory]. Ethnic identity is adaptive because it allows people to defend their ethnic cultural and genetic interests” (22).

UPDATE: This is an excellent review, very clearly stated. Everyone should read and understand it fully. One major topic that MacDonald in his work and the authors under review have consistently left out of their analyses of the decline and fall of the West is the widespread, decades-long violence that has weakened the West the way picadors weaken bulls in bullfights, preparing them with many small stabbing wound in their neck muscles till they can no longer hold their heads high. It is probable that intellectuals like MacDonald do not understand this sort of violence because intellectuals are often that way, far removed from the rawest and most brutal outcomes of their otherwise well-reasoned analyses. The violence I am talking about is clandestine, secret, hidden from view. It is focused against individuals, typically promising white boys and young men. It is done with poison, psychosurgery and other kinds of sensory or cognitive damage that render victims incapable of living normal lives. Victims, who are targeted for their strength and leadership abilities, become instead physical and emotional invalids. They still ‘lead’ those around them to some extent, but now they lead them into despair, incompetence, sadness, defeatism, even suicide. This side of the West’s downfall must be recognized and understood if there is ever going to be an effective response. We are facing a much worse situation than an intellectual puzzle. The violence described above and in other comments I have made is accompanied by also promoting weak white males. This is why our institutions are filled with incompetents and the infiltrators who are leading them and us. ABN
