How to Defeat the Far Right: Lessons From Hope Not Hate

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.
