Arktos Media is a publishing company known for publishing authors of theEuropean New Right, as well as translating European far-right literature into English.[2] It has been described by historianMark Sedgwick as a "radical-right publisher".[3]
Arktos was founded inIndia in 2009 bySwedish businessman and former active neo-NaziDaniel Friberg and John B. Morgan, anAmerican editor. The company launched in 2010, then relocated to Sweden in 2014 and Hungary in 2015. Friberg had previously distributedwhite power music andNazi paraphernalia before starting the company. His stated goal was to create a Swedish parallel to Americanalt-right media.[4]
Friberg is the CEO, whileGregory Lauder-Frost, formerly of theConservative Monday Club, leads the British division.[5] American professorJason Jorjani became editor-in-chief in 2016, but later left that position when he began to distance himself from thealt-right,[6] though he has since then continued to release books with the publisher.[7]
Arktos was the world's largest distributor of far-right literature as of 2017, according toThe New Yorker.[8] In 2019, Arktos was publishing more than 120 titles by 54 authors, including translations of the Russian ultra-nationalistAlexander Dugin and the French far-right thinkerAlain de Benoist.[9][2][10][11]
In 2017, theSouthern Poverty Law Center identified Arktos as being a bedfellow of the later dissolvedIdentity Evropa.[11]
