Acerca de este título
‘A brilliant and challenging book’ GORDON BROWN
From the founder of Britain’s leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies – and how to go about it.
If you’re shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you’re not alone.
Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain – with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK – has been far from immune from far-right politics.
From HOPE not hate’s pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the ‘manosphere’ and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of ‘race science’ and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain’s deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism.
His conclusions – which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners – suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples – from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford – of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate.

‘A brilliant and challenging book with very insightful analysis that not only gets to the heart of what’s led to the rise of the far right, but is original in its plan for how to combat this new extremism.’ Gordon Brown
'Lowles’s memoir-cum-manual … is a troubling read.' Guardian
'Lowles has example after example of real-world campaigns, thorny challenges and hard-won insights into what works and what doesn’t. An absolute must-read.' Shortlist
'At turns inspiring, hopeful, and alarming.' The New World
'Lowles’ prescription … is surely correct.' Jewish Chronicle
‘Nick Lowles delivers a powerful and timely warning: when economic hope disappears, intolerance takes its place. But he also reminds us that when we come together across our differences we can win real, positive change.’ Paul Nowak, General Secretary TUC
‘There are few people who understand better than Nick what is going on within the well-organised groups that seek to undermine our social fabric. And crucially he discusses what must be done about it.’ Alison Phillips, former Daily Mirror editor
‘The work of HOPE not hate is so vital. The lessons about what works in fighting hate are so well set out by Nick Lowles in this brilliant book. His findings are rightly challenging, but they must not be ignored.’ Enver Solomon, CEO Refugee Council
‘Nick Lowles has been at the coalface of fighting hate in all its forms for decades. No one else has more knowledge or expertise in how to defeat hatred. An essential read.’ Akeela Ahmed, CEO of British Muslim Network

'Brilliant.' Adam Bienkov
