"For years scholars denied the very existence of a fascist culture and largely ignored post-war developments of fascism as a political force. Cultures of Post-war British Fascism lies at the cutting edge of the new wave in fascist studies. It reveals the complex ideological, creative, and mythic contortions of British fascists who still find ways to assert the imminent or ultimate triumph of their race and creed over decadence and the new enemies of national rebirth despite the drastic shrinking of fascism’s political space since 1945." Professor Roger Griffin, Oxford Brookes University."This exciting new collection of essays, by the leaders in the field of British fascist studies, offers the first and a very illuminating cultural perspective on the post-war extreme Right in Britain. It follows the major paradigm shift in fascist studies to a cultural interpretation of political belief systems. By exposing the way post-war fascists have engaged with, aped, and tried to destabilize both high and popular culture in Britain, this in-depth study will make us better equipped to challenge the appeal of fascism."Dr Julie Gottlieb, Senior Lecturer in History, University of Sheffield
