Washington Summit Publishers

Washington Summit Publishers is a publisher based in the United States which produces and sells books in the categories of anthropology, evolution, genetics, psychology, philosophy, and current events.^[1] Notable authors published by WSP include psychometricians Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, and physicist-turned-historian, Michael H. Hart.

The publisher has faced criticism from opponents of the race and intelligence discourse, and disqualified as printers of "a range of racist tracts". Thus, in a 2006 article titled "The New Racialists," the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote in part about Louis Andrews who had then been recently named a director of the National Policy Institute and managing editor of the Occidental Quarterly.^[2] The article continues "Andrews has written widely on such matters as race and intelligence, but he also publishes work from likeminded allies. Through his company L.R. Andrews, Inc. he runs Washington Summit Publishers, which reprints a range of racist tracts, along with books on eugenics. Washington Summit also sells the works of Kevin B. MacDonald, which Andrews says show why 'anti-Semitism is a naturally expected and powerful phenomenon.'"^[2] The SPLC lists Washington Summit Publishers as a white nationalist group.^[3]
