Publications on Jews and other Diaspora Peoples

This website contains frank discussion of ethnic issues, including ethnic interests and ethnic competition. In all cases I have done my best to be objective and to base my analyses on solid evidence. I want to make it clear that nothing on this website should be interpreted to suggest that I condone white racial superiority, genocide, Nazism, or Holocaust denial. I advocate none of these and strongly dissociate myself and my work from groups that do. Nor should my opinions be used to support discrimination against Jews or any other group.


Writing on Judaism from an Evolutionary Perspective

Books: I have written three books on Judaism within a modern evolutionary perspective. These books are in the Evolution, Behavior, and Intelligence series edited by Seymour W. Itzkoff and published by  Praeger Publishers, an imprint of the Greenwood Publishing Group. Praeger has gotten out of the business of publishing and distributing these books, but they are now available in paperback editions, each with a preface that updates the original and explores topics not in the original editions.

New Book: Cultural Insurrections

Monograph: I also have a monograph, Understanding Jewish Influence (published in 2004), which discusses a variety of issues related to Jewish influences on contemporary Western societies.

Translations: Several translations have been made of my work, into Russian, Swedish, Polish, Romanian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, and German.

Articles on Jewish Issues and Western Culture.

 

Online Interviews: Interviews on various topics.
