The British Extreme Right and Northern Ireland
In the late 1960s, the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland began. Most of the British extreme right had just come together to form the National Front (NF) and the new organization's opposition to Irish Republicanism and defence of the retention of Northern Ireland within the Union quickly became entangled with support for loyalist paramilitary organizations. This article concentrates on the period from 1969 to the beginning of the 1990s, when the NF, …

The American Right and Israel
In recent years there has been considerable controversy over the relationship between the United States and Israel. Neoconservatives and Christian Zionists have been vociferous in support of the relationship, while John Mearsheimer and other critics have questioned what America gains from such an alliance. While the G. W. Bush administration has often been portrayed as uncritically favouring Israel, it was the subject of criticism on the issue fr…

Christian Identity and the Politics of Religion
Since the end of the Second World War, one form of religion has been especially evident on the American extreme Right. Tracing its roots to nineteenth‐century Britain, Christian Identity emerged in the USA in the 1940s. Anglo‐Saxons, it claimed, were the original lost tribes of Israel, and the Bible was written not for the Jews, but for the white race. Taking a wide variety of organisational forms, Identity has experienced a number of bitter disp…

White Rage
White Rage examines the development of the modern American extreme right and American politics from the 1950s to the present day. It explores the full panoply of extreme right groups, from the remnants of the Ku Klux Klan to skinhead groups and from the militia groups to neo-nazis. In developing its argument the book: discusses the American extreme right in the context of the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11 and the Bush administration; explores the A…
Women and Fascism
This seminal book challenges the common assumption that fascism is a misogynist movement which has tended to exclude women. Using examples from Germany, Italy and France, Durham analyses the rise of women in fascist organizations across Europe from the early twenties to the present. Unusually, however, the author focuses on British fascism and in doing so he offers valuable new perspectives on fascist attitudes to women. Offering interesting exam…
The Republic in Danger
George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq has brought new life to an old argument - that America is imperialist. As Chomsky ... has recently demonstrated, this is an argument associated with the left. But it does not always come from that section of the political spectrum. The claim that America is an empire has also been made from within the American right, and in two sharply different ways. For some, America is imperialist and must be stopped from bein…
The upward path
Since its emergence in the 1970s, the National Alliance has become the leading organisation of the American extreme Right. It was led (until his death in July 2002) by William Pierce, formerly a leading figure in the National Socialist White People's Party and author of The Turner Diaries. Committed to palingenesis and a total revolution, the Alliance calls for a racial revolution and the creation of an Aryan New Order, and is an exemplar of Roge…
The American Right and the Framing of 9/11
On September 11th, 2001, 2 hijacked airliners were crashed into the World Trade Center and a third into the Pentagon. The Bush administration's response, both in regard to civil liberties at home and the launching of military action abroad, has been the subject of considerable controversy. As we might expect, the Bush administration's framing of events met with acclaim among many on the American right But here, as elsewhere on the political spect…

Evangelical Protestantism and foreign policy in the United States after September 11
Much that has been written on evangelicals in the United States concerns their impact on domestic politics. But the election of George W. Bush has resulted in a new importance for the relationship between evangelicals and US foreign policy. This has become particularly clear following the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Three issues deserve further study. One is evangelicals’ attitude to Islam. The second inv…
The Home and the Homeland
Discussions of the British extreme right, both in its pre-war and post-war manifestations, have tended to ignore the question of gender. A number of writers, however, have argued that, by definition, the extreme right should be seen as a highly patriarchal force. Closer examination casts doubt on this supposition, and suggests instead that for a movement organised around ultra-nationalism and resistance to the racial 'Other', but not around anti-…
The American far right and 9/11
On 11 September 2001, over 3000 Americans were killed in terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. But the attacks do not only shed light on radical Islam. Far-right groupings in America reacted to 11 September in very different ways, and an exploration of their responses can offer fresh insights into a constellation of groupings which stretch from the militias to the neo-Nazi National Alliance
From Imperium to Internet
Led by William Pierce, a former officer in the National Socialist White People's Party, America's National Alliance has achieved particular notoriety as a result of Pierce's authoring of a genocidal political thriller called The Turner Diaries. Pierce argues, both in his fiction and elsewhere, for the recruitment of an elite that will one day lead to an armed struggle against The System. The argument of others on the extreme right in the United S…

Preparing for armageddon
The devastating explosion in Oklahoma City on 19 April 1995 has drawn attention to the existence of citizen militias and the Patriot movement of which they are part. Opposed to gun control and taxation and strongly influenced by claims of concealed foreign troops, concentration camps and plans to impose a New World order, Patriots are the inheritors of a radical rightist conspiratorialism dating back to the 1960s. Believing American liberties to …

Gender and the British Union of Fascists
Whereas fascist movements on the continent achieved power in Germany and Italy and were a significant force in several other countries, British fascism never reached any such position. Proscribed shortly after the outbreak of the second world war, its leading activists interned, the most important organization, Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union, had only been a few thousand strong for much of the 1930s.

British Revolutionaries and the Suppression of the Left in Lenin's Russia, 1918-1924
Existing studies of the response of British socialists to events in Russia have tended to group around two periods. First, several historians have discussed 1917 itself and shown how British leftwingers enthusiastically welcomed the downfall of the Tsar. The subsequent overthrow of the Provisional Government and the coming to power of the Bolsheviks was not as widely supported, but for large sections of the left it was a great moment the first so…

Women and the British union of fascists, 1932–1940
While much has been written on the British Union of Fascists, very little attention has been given to the role of women both in the movement and in its ideology. Yet the BUF put a great deal of effort into recruiting women and developed policies that were disconcertingly different from our usual picture of Fascism. In the Corporate State of the future, its propagandists claimed, women would not be confined to the home but would achieve full equal…
