Frank Salter & Harry Richardson co-authored Anglophobia: The Unrecognised Hatred

Background on Frank: he has a PhD in biosocial science from Griffith University, Brisbane. For most of his career he was a researcher at a Max Planck Institute near Munich, Germany. Subjects included the biology and politics of ethnicity. Frank has published several books, including On Genetic Interests, Welfare, Ethnicity & Altruism, The Voice Referendum and most recently, a collection of his ethnic research over the last 30 years: The National Question & Human Nature: An Australian Perspective.

This talk concerns the content of the book, Anglophobia: The Unrecognised Hatred, written with Harry Richardson. He will first give an overview of the book, initially drafted by Harry, then speak about why it interested him as an academic researcher.

The book describes three categories of hostility towards people of British ethnicity. These are vilification, the most common, followed by discrimination and violence. Australia has experienced all three in recent decades.

The author's interest stemmed from research on ethnicity, approached through the paradigm of biosocial science which is the application of biological insights into human nature. This explains that biology is directly relevant to ethnicity because an ethnic group is defined as a named population whose members see themselves as descended from shared ancestors and have similar physiognomy. Genetic evidence shows these groups are essentially extended kin networks, just like families. In the same way that biologists observe kinship markers prompting cooperation among animals and humans, ethnic markers have a parallel effect in human societies, fostering similar cooperative behaviours.

Based on that finding, he has researched the effects of ethno-religious diversity on welfare, social cohesion, organised crime, nationalism, and the ideology and practise of multiculturalism. The Anglophobia book draws on that research.

The book also exposes attacks upon Australia’s Anglo-Celtic heritage and way of life.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase on the night.
