Britain's far right since 1967: a bibliographic survey Craig Fowlie"ReviewsWith so much attention being monopolized by Jihadism, 'Tomorrow Belongs to Us' is a timely and sobering reminder that in the last 50 years Britain's extreme right subculture, far from withering away, has continued to adapt to domestic and international events, and still retains a disturbing capacity for fomenting local ethnic hatreds, poisoning democracy, and inspiring political murders, despite its impotence as party-political force. - Roger Griffin, author of Fascism: An Introduction to Comparative Fascist Studies (2018). This edited volume brings the historian's concern with a richly temporal and contextual understanding of events and processes to the study of a range of key issues in contemporary studies of the far and populist radical right. Its cross-disciplinary approach does much more than fill in the gaps in our knowledge. It provides new insight into the shifting ideologies and mobilisational successes and failures of political movements on the far right of the political spectrum but also, and innovatively, into their subcultural, symbolic, gendered and emotional worlds. - Hilary Pilkington, Professor of Sociology, University of Manchester With so much attention being monopolized by Jihadism, Tomorrow Belongs to Us is a timely and sobering reminder that in the last 50 years Britain's extreme right subculture, far from withering away, has continued to adapt to domestic and international events, and still retains a disturbing capacity for fomenting local ethnic hatreds, poisoning democracy, and inspiring political murders, despite its impotence as party-political force. - Roger Griffin, author of Fascism: An Introduction to Comparative Fascist Studies (2018).
