| Abstract
|
:
|
"By 1976, the National Front had become the fourth largest party in Britain. In a context of national decline, racism, and fears that the country was collapsing into social unrest, the Front won 19 percent of the vote in elections in Leicester and 100,000 votes in London. At Lewisham in August 1977, fighting between the far right and its opponents saw two hundred people arrested and fifty policemen injured. The press urged the state to ban two rival sets of dangerous extremists. But as the papers took sides, so did many others who determined to oppose the Front. An anti-fascist campaign was born, which combined mass action to deprive the Front of public platforms with a mass cultural movement. Rock Against Racism used punk and reggae music as a weapon against the right. Hundreds of thousands of people painted out racist graffiti, distributed leaflets, persuaded those around them to vote against the right. It was one of the biggest mass movements that Britain has ever seen. This book tells the story of the National Front and the campaign which stopped it."--Provided by publisher.
