Why I Am Not a Liberal

Bowden’s oratorical firepower is on full display in this 2009 interview. Members of the London New-Right put every question to him you ever wanted to ask, letting Bowden hold forth on topics such as:

• Race and politics
• The EU
• Islam
• Gender roles
• Paganism and Christianity
• Modern art
• His own vision of the future

This volume also includes three short reflections on Bowden the man, written by members of the London New-Right.

Far from suggesting a misty-eyed return to a nostalgic past, the picture Bowden paints here is one of great intellectual daring, aesthetic dynamism, and the sort of bravado needed for any political movement to succeed. This is a foundational voice of the dissident right, reminding it of lessons it has forgotten.

The inaugural release in the Studies in Reaction series, Bowden’s Why I Am Not a Liberal serves as a sweeping overview of illiberal thinking and makes for an excellent entré into dissident right politics.
