'''Instauration''' was a monthly magazine published in the United States from 1975 to 2000. Founded by Wilmot Robertson, the magazine was primarily known for its promotion of nationalist views, including critiques of racial integration, affirmative action, and multiculturalism. Its content reflected the ideology of its founder, emphasizing the preservation of Western civilization and advocating for racially-specific public policies.
== History ==
Instauration was founded by [[Wilmot Robertson]], a writer and publisher best known for his 1972 book, ''The Dispossessed Majority''. The magazine's first issue was published in 1975, and it continued for 25 years, ceasing publication in 2000. Robertson served as its primary editor and contributor, shaping the magazine's editorial tone and ideological focus.
The title "Instauration" means "restoration" or "renewal," reflecting the magazine's aim to promote what it viewed as the renewal of Western civilization and the defense of European-American identity. It often critiqued societal trends, including immigration, demographic changes, and cultural liberalism.
== Content and Ideology ==
The magazine featured essays, editorials, and reviews that espoused nationalist and racial perspectives. Common themes included:
- Opposition to racial integration and affirmative action policies.
- Advocacy for segregation and racial separation.
- Critiques of multiculturalism and perceived threats to Western culture.
- Discussions of demographic trends affecting European-descended populations.
== Reception and Criticism ==
While Instauration was influential within certain nationalist movements, it was denounced by mainstream commentators and organizations for promoting racism and extremist ideologies. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) identified it as a hate publication.
== Closure ==
The magazine ceased publication in 2000 following declining readership and the death of its founder, Wilmot Robertson, in 2005. Its legacy remains controversial, with its writings occasionally cited in discussions of far-right intellectual movements.
== Legacy ==
Instauration's influence persisted in certain far-right communities, although it has largely faded from mainstream discourse.
