[Racial and National] Identity

Gale, Rev. William P.

Published by [Ministry of Christ Church] [197-?], [Glendale]

Two William Potter Gale articles originally printed in his quarterly, "Identity," on the Biblical, anthropological, and historical origins of the white race. Gale contends that the Bible contains the history of the white race and traces the lineage of white Americans to the Biblical tribes. The Jews on the other hand are descended from Cain, and thus from Satan. After the death of Wesley Swift, Gale was the foremost expositor of racial Identitarianism in the U.S. and was deeply involved in the Posse Comitatus, sovereign citizens and militia movements. A number of editions of this pamphlet were issued in the mid-1970s by a variety of Christian Identity churches (see Singerman for the only comparative description). Stapled wrappers (8 ½" x 5 ½"), 24 p, photograph of Gale. In SIBA. Reference: Barkun, Michael. Religion and the Racist Right: The Origins of Christian Identity. Chapel Hill & London: University of North Carolina Press, 1997. Revised edition. Seller Inventory # 12441
