PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF SUBCULTURES ...

This book examines the domestic evolution and international connections of post-war fascists in
the UK. It argues that post-war British fascism became transnational as the radicals
increasingly exchanged ideas  money and culture with like-minded foreigners. Using interviews
with key figures in several countries  this book traces the history of the National Front (NF)
and British National Party (BNP)  focusing on the political parties' youth  music and
international outreach. It explores how British fascism grew into an international movement 
how fascist youth developed skinhead music as a conduit for their ideas  and how some of those
key figures made international connections with people in Iraq  Libya  Syria and the United
States. Moreover  it also draws from rare internal party documents  law enforcement records and
membership lists to track foreign funding and the parties' domestic electoral growth. For the
first time  this book gained access to both the leadership and rank-and-file of the BNP and NF
to explore its culture and international connections. In doing so  it shows the successes 
failures and changes that have made British fascism a force in the international extremist
subculture.
