[edit] Criticism

The Southern Poverty Law Center, in an article titled The New Racialists, states that "Andrews has written widely on such matters as race and intelligence, but he also publishes large amounts of work from like minded allies. Through his company L.R. Andrews, Inc. (www.lrainc.com), he runs Washington Summit Publishers, which reprints a range of classical and modern racist tracts, along with books on eugenics, the discredited 'science' of breeding better humans. Washington Summit also sells the works of Kevin MacDonald, which Andrews says show why 'anti-Semitism is a naturally expected and powerful phenomenon.'"^[3] The Southern Poverty Law Center lists Washington Summit Publishers as a White Nationalist Hate Group.^[4]
