Passage Press, now part of Foundation Publishing Group, illustrates the far right's strategy to disseminate provocative content as art. This affiliation with other right-leaning publishers like Network Press raises concerns about their role in the cultural wars instigated by the Trump administration. Daniel Lisi, previously embedded in a left-leaning literary scene, has become a central figure in the far-right publishing movement. By publishing works that promote reactionary values, these companies attempt to challenge mainstream narratives and create a counter-institution to liberal influences in media and academia.
Lisi effectively laid out a blueprint that is reflected in Passage's efforts to mainstream far-right writers by selling their work, offering high-end editions, and convening public events.
The developments illuminate the far right's efforts to disseminate ideologically charged material as art in the US, raising questions about its place in the broader culture wars.
