Damien Richardson: Welcome back to Damienrichardson dot online where we are continuing, definitely today we're continuing to have the difficult conversations. We're talking to retired academic Frank Salter. Once we hear the title of the book that he's recently published with a colleague of his, Harry Richardson. I think we might wonder whether he actually retired if he was thrown out of academia because the name of the book is Anglophobia, the Unrecognized Hatred.

Frank Salter, welcome to the show.

Frank Salter: Nice, nice to be here.

Damien Richardson: Now, Frank, what prepossessed you to even be to begin to write a book with that title?

Frank Salter: Well, what began it was I received a 6,000 word email, in effect from my co-author Harry Richardson. And he said:

"I've got an idea for an article."

We thought it would be maybe about that long, 6,000 words. It went to almost ten times that.

And he had this argument, which is the structure of the book, which is talking about everyone else can have their home country but not us. Anglo Australians and all other European nations are not permitted to have their own country where they remain the super majority. Not just a 51% majority, but an 85, a 90% majority, which most other peoples aspire to. They might not have it, but they aspire to it. They can lobby for it, they can agitate for it and they're not called Nazis. Right?

So territory is homeland is a basic one, or control of immigration and so on and so forth.

And I thought this is rhetorically really powerful.

So between us, his concept of the book became a book project, took us a year. And with my academic training together, it was a great combination. And we came up with this book that I think covers a lot of the sensitive areas.

Damien Richardson: The book was only recently published, wasn't it?

Frank Salter: Yeah, earlier this year [2023]

Damien Richardson: Earlier this year. How's it been received in academic circles and also by the broader public?

Frank Salter: Not one review! It's just been ignored, except on the dissident side of politics. It's dissident Right. It's been acknowledged, been reviewed. It was published initially in Quadrant magazine, which is Australia's premiere intellectual magazine for conservatives. Quadrant magazine's been running for 50, 60 years.

So it was published in a huge, you know, series, four long articles with other part of the book.

So that was good. And we had good responses from readers there.

But in academe, no, I think I can't think of one review.

Damien Richardson: So why is it being ignored? Talk us through that process. Why would it be ignored? You have fine credentials, you worked overseas, as part of academia as well as in Australia, as well as your colleague, so why would it be ignored?

Frank Salter: Well, for the same reason that I could not find a job in Australia! I had to work overseas at a research Institute in Europe for 20 years. I couldn't find work in Australia. Why? Because my field of study, it's not Right-wing or anything, but I study human nature and how that underpins political systems.

So I'm a political scientist trained at Sydney University, PhD, Griffith University in Brisbane. My doctoral dissertation was published by Oxford University Press. You can't do better than that. And my supervisor, [chuckling] my Professor said:

"You've got it. You're home and hosed, Frank. You're home and hosed! This is it!"

I mean, if Oxford publishes your PhD dissertation, you can just sort of name your position. It's great!

No chance! I had just no chance. And for that same reason, the book is just ignored. Books on the Right are just ignored.

Damien Richardson: So it proves your thesis in many respects, doesn't it?

Frank Salter: It does. It does!

Damien Richardson: And what is your thesis?

Frank Salter: That there's been a Cultural Revolution which became manifest, it started earlier, but it became manifest in the 1960s with the student rebellions across the West. And then went through the 1970s. It's called the Counterculture. I mean, it was pretty easy to notice. And it was called a Cultural Revolution, but it went much deeper.

And what it reflected ...
