Cambridge University Press is the world's oldest publishing house (since 1534) and the second-largest university press in the world. It publishes over 50,000 titles from authors in 100 countries,[1] including numerous Nobel Prize winners.[2] It also publishes numerous academic journals.
It is one of two privileged presses in the United Kingdom, along with the Oxford University Press.
Publishing of racialism[edit]
Although it is normally considered a respectable academic publisher, in recent years, it has published a few books espousing racialism and hereditarianism, some of them written by known white nationalists and pseudoscientists, with extensive citations to "research" bankrolled by the white supremacist[3][4] Pioneer Fund. These include the following:
- Making Sense of Heritability (2005) by Neven Sesardic - Unabashed advocacy of hereditarianism, including a defense of Arthur Jensen.
- The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016) by Richard Haier.
- Cognitive Capitalism (2018) by Heiner Rindermann — Naked racialism, citations to Rushton, Jensen, and Richard Lynn, etc.
Journal of Biosocial Science[edit]
Cambridge University Press is the publisher of the Journal of Biosocial Science, which has published some controversial and pseudoscientific papers, including studies on the IQs of "third world immigrants" in the Netherlands by Jan te Nijenhuis,[5][6][7] and similar papers by Edward Dutton,[8] and Heiner Rindermann,[9][10][11] The same journal has also published questionable papers by Gregory Cochran on Ashkenazi IQ,[12] and several papers by white supremacist Richard Lynn.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
Although Cambridge University Press publishes some racialist pseudoscience, this does not completely invalidate their positive reputation. They normally publish legitimate scientific and academic works, and the publication of pseudoscience is generally an inverse stopped clock moment. One can reasonably expect any such large publishing operation to fail occasionally.
