The Social Contract Press (SCP) is an American publisher of
white nationalist and
anti-immigrant literature. It is a program of U.S. Inc., a foundation formed by
John Tanton, who was called by the
Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) "the racist founder and principal ideologue of the modern
nativist movement". Founded in 1990, it publishes the quarterly ''Social Contract'' journal, as well as reprints and new works.
The editor of the journal since 1998 is Wayne Lutton, a white nationalist author whose book ''The Social Contract'' was banned from entering Canada as hate literature. Lutton has led or been involved with various white nationalist groups, anti-LGBT efforts, and other far-right activities. He has said the United States should be a country for only whites, telling a
white supremacist conference, "We are the real Americans, not the Hmong, not Latinos, not the Siberian-Americans."
Since 2006,
Kevin Lamb has been the managing editor of ''The Social Contract''. Lamb was fired as managing editor of ''
Human Events'' and ''The Evans-Novak Political Report'' after it was revealed that he was also editing the white nationalist journal ''
The Occidental Quarterly'' at the same time. Lamb had contributed work to racist publications since the early 1990s, according to the SPLC.
