The Occidental Quarterly is an American journal "devoted to the ethnic, racial, and cultural heritage that forms the foundation of Western Civilization". It aims to defend "the cultural, ethnic, and racial interests of Western European peoples" and examine "contemporary political, social, and demographic trends that impact the posterity of Western Civilization".[2]

Contents

[edit] Publisher and editors

The journal is published by the Charles Martel Society (not to be confused with France's anti-Algerian Charles Martel Group),[3] named in honor of Charles Martel, who halted a Muslim invasion of Europe at the Battle of Tours in 732.

The current editor of Occidental Quarterly is Kevin B. MacDonald. Its publisher is William Regnery II.[4] Editorial advisory board members include Virginia Abernethy, Richard Lynn, James C. Russell, Kevin B. MacDonald, Wayne Lutton, and Brent Nelson.[5] Jared Taylor, of the American Renaissance magazine, is a past member.[2] Samuel T. Francis was an associate editor until his death.

In response to a critical essay by The American Prospect, 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]

[edit] Positions

They explicitly reject neoconservatism and call for a "third school" to emerge from paleoconservatism in the form of an ideology of Western European identity politics, and holds that the American political order of freedom and liberty is under ethnic and ideological threat from mostly Jewish ideologies. Its foreign policy positions, broadly, are anti-immigration with the exception of those from other industrialized Western nations, and non-interventionism, including the rejection of influence from Israel and Mexico on U.S. politics.[6]

[edit] Other projects

The Occidental Quarterly also runs a news-related website, The Occidental Observer, as well as a book publishing company, The Occidental Press.[7]

According to Newsweek magazine, in 2004 the publisher Regnery announced to the magazine's subscribers his plans for whites-only dating Web site. Newsweek reported that Regnery was concerned about a declining numbers of whites in the population, and quoted him telling his subscribers that the dating site was important "since the survival of our race depends upon our people marrying, reproducing and parenting." Regnery defended the whites-only matchmaking idea, insisting that it is no different from sites run for Jewish singles, such as JDate.[8]
