Washington Summit Publishers (abbreviated as WSP) operates as a white nationalist publishing house located in Augusta, Georgia. It specializes in literature concerning race and intelligence along with associated topics. The organization is headed by Richard B. Spencer, a known white supremacist and former leader of the now-defunct National Policy Institute.
History
Initially, Louis Andrews managed WSP while also overseeing the National Policy Institute and serving as editor for The Occidental Quarterly, both financially supported by William Regnery II. In 2013, the company was based in Whitefish, Montana, but by 2019, it had moved its headquarters to Augusta, Georgia.
Authors
The publisher's collection features authors such as J. Philippe Rushton, Kevin B. MacDonald, Richard Lynn, Tatu Vanhanen, and Michael H. Hart.
Journal
Under the Radix imprint, WSP produced Radix Journal, which included contributions from figures like Kerry Bolton, Peter Brimelow, Samuel T. Francis, Kevin B. MacDonald, William Regnery II, Alex Kurtagić, and Jared Taylor. The journal discontinued publication in 2021, with its website shutting down in 2023. In 2022, Spencer relaunched the Radix brand as a Substack newsletter named Radix Journal, which was subsequently renamed ALEXANDRIA.
Subjects
Washington Summit Publishers primarily disseminates materials promoting white nationalism and white supremacist ideologies. Its key focus has been on "human biodiversity" (HBD), a term used within alt-right circles to describe scientific racism. According to a 2006 report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the publisher reissued racist literature alongside works endorsing antisemitism and eugenics. The SPLC officially classified Washington Summit Publishers as a white nationalist hate group in 2015.
