A brilliant and challenging book GORDON BROWN From the founder of Britains leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies and how to go about it. If youre shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, youre not alone. Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK has been far from immune from far right politics. From HOPE not hates pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the manosphere and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of race science and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britains deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard won lessons from decades of activism. His conclusions which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples from a participant led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate.
