Alba Rosa is dedicated to the self-surpassing re-birth of the Western peoples — and to the cause of their nationalist-identitarian avant garde.

Alba Rosa gives a Traditionalist analysis of the deepening Crisis of the Modern West under the aegis of the increasingly totalitarian ideology of Culture Nihilism. This ideology — defined by historico-materialist myopia, militant secularism, socio-cultural deconstruction and collective narcissism — is being implemented ever more rapidly by the globalist hostile elite of the West. During this final stage of the Cultural Nihilist onslaught, characterized by wholesale ethnic replacement and total social deconstruction, Western civilization is approaching its historical ‘event horizon’. Alba Rosa exposes the psycho-historical dynamics of Cultural Nihilism and puts the approaching ‘hellstorm’ of the Postmodern West into a Traditionalist cultural-historical perspective. At the same time, it sketches the looming spectre of the historical Nemesis of the Cultural Nihilist hostile elite: the Archaeofuturist Revolution.

Safe Conduct

The following list is primarily meant as a reference resource for young people in search of material for further research into the cultural-historical themes touched upon in Alba Rosa. It specifies all non-fiction books and movies referenced in Alba Rosa. The filmography has been added because young people rarely have time and patience for products from before ‘their time’. To permit those interested to make a quick selection, indications of genre and relevance have been added.

It is important to also add some words of advice for young people who are attempting a study of materials relevant to Traditionalism without the benefit of a reliable teacher or guide. Under the aegis of contemporary Postmodern Cultural Nihilism, the young people of the West are facing an unenviable predicament: they are bereft of reliable academic leadership within the Humanities and Social Sciences. These disciplines have been destroyed by a fatal combination of ‘valorization’, ‘internationalization’, ‘feminization’ and ‘xenification’. Without trustworthy professional guidance, it is not easy to acquire a solid foundation in philosophy, sociology and cultural history. Here only a few general pieces of advice and some rules of thumb can be given.

First: Be careful! There are many pseudo-Traditionalist traps and ambushes that can ensnare the unwary student. A significant — and increasing — proportion of both ‘contemporary’ and ‘classic’ Traditionalism-related literature now falls outside the public and academic consensus. Partially this is due to politically correct anathemas that have been pronounced over their contents, and partially this is due to the irregular — often downright ‘fantastic’ — approaches of their authors. It is important that a student of such materials develops an instinct for distinguishing between ‘objective facts’, ‘(meta)political theses’ and ‘genius inspirations’: these three categories tend to fluidly overlap and for every serious thinker they necessarily complement each other. It is necessary to achieve a balance between hard-headed ‘common sense’ and legitimately inspired imagination.

Second: Investigate source material — and try to read it in the original language! Authentic research, — in cultural history as well as political philosophy, demands a skipping of ‘summaries’ and ‘int...
