About this listen
An urgent call to resist the forces of extremism and intolerance we see on the march in Western societies, and a guide to how to go about it.
How to Defeat the Far Right offers an urgent call to those shocked and disconcerted by the rise of extremism and intolerance in Western societies. Campaigner and journalist Nick Lowles discusses how populist parties have gained power and influence in Europe and beyond and looks at how anti-immigration, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated. He provides an explanation for what is happening and why and, more importantly, suggests practical ways for the far right to be defeated.
Drawing on the author’s 35 years of personal experience and 20 years leading HOPE not hate, Britain’s largest anti-fascist organisation, this book will examine clear and present political threats and draw on years of good practice and innovative campaign ideas to offer the reader – politicians, community activists and citizens alike – a realisable way to beat the far right and demonstrate that HOPE can triumph over hate.

Britain is a scary place to live right now as an ethnic minority, and HNH provide me just that … hope, that we can collectively unite and defeat fascism, bigotry and racism on our streets urgently.' Nikesh Shukla, editor of The Good Immigrant
‘HOPE not hate has long occupied a vital place as a watchdog of the far-right in Britain, and its work is indispensable now as the country risks inviting racists and nativists into its democratic institutions. Its investigations have been a reminder of how close to the brink we really are.’ Angela Saini, author of Superior
