Then came the Anti-Nazi League—a vibrant mass movement that built groups in workplaces, unions, schools and colleges, challenged the NF on the streets, and broke the back of the fascist threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by the ANL's full-time organiser in Manchester and drawing on many in-depth interviews, this book tells the story of how ordinary people built one of Britain's most successful anti-fascist movements. Together with Rock Against Racism, they organised two national carnivals supported by tens of thousands, distributed nine million leaflets, and sold seven hundred thousand badges. By 1981, the National Front was broken as a national organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis history couldn't be more urgent. With racism and the far right resurgent across the UK today, we desperately need to learn from movements that successfully united and mobilised against fascism. Brown's book offers a treasure trove of stories and inspirational recollections from both leading figures and grassroots activists who built this movement from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Speakers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeoff Brown served as the ANL's full-time organiser in Manchester during this crucial period and witnessed first-hand how mass grassroots organising defeated fascism on the streets, in workplaces, and in communities across Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKate Alexander is Emeritus Professor at the University of Johannesburg, Director of the Centre for Social Change, and holds the South African Research Chair in Social Change.
