At least one Australian-based online bookstore is reviewing works from a publisher that describes itself as the “the classics department of the dissident right”, including essay collections edited by an Australian white nationalist.
Booktopia said on Wednesday it would remove several titles published by Imperium Press from its website “pending further review”. The publisher is part of an international ecosystem of publishers that sell repackaged public domain titles, often from the “western canon” such as Shakespeare, the Iliad and the counter-Enlightenment philosopher Joseph de Maistre, as well as explicitly reactionary right or pro-white works.
