The Life of Henry Hamilton Beamish
HATERS, BAITERS AND WOULD-BE DICTATORS For fifty-five years, from 1919 until 1975, The Britons published Jew-hating literature. For the forty years until his death in 1948, the founder and president of The Britons, Henry Hamilton Beamish, devoted his life to touring the world as an obsessive preacher of this hatred. Using material he has collected over the past thirty years, Nick Toczek tells their story. This is the first complete history of the organisation, which was the most prolific and influential advocate of extreme prejudice against all things Jewish – not least as the publisher of that notorious forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Likewise, this is the first biography of Beamish. Putting both The Britons and Beamish into context, this book also examines and explains their precursors, their contemporaries and their legacy. Here, then, are detailed accounts of several anti-Jewish organisations and individuals. These include the late Victorian anti-Semitism of Arnold White and the British Brothers League; the curious life of Rotha Lintorn-Orman, who was the unlikely founder of British Fascisti, Britain’s first fascist party; Anglo-American supporters of Hitler; the lives and roles of extreme haters such as Arnold Leese and Colin Jordan; and the whole history of The Protocols, including the key role played by American motor magnate Henry Ford. This shocking history of hatred takes us from South Africa to Nazi Germany, from America to Rhodesia. Nick Toczek is a writer, performer and political researcher. Oh, mind of man, what -

fascism 7 (2018) 275-296 brill.com/fasc Beyond the Pale: Whiteness, Masculinity and Empire in the British Union of Fascists, 1932–1940 Liam J. Liburd Department of History, University of Sheffield [email protected] Abstract This article seeks to intervene in the debate over the legacy of the British Empire, using the British Union of Fascists (buf) as a case-study. It will argue that, during the inter- war period, the buf drew heavily on earlier constructions of racialized imperial mas- culinity in building their ‘new fascist man’. The buf stand out in the period following the First World War, where hegemonic constructions of British masculinity were alto- gether more domesticated. At the same time, colonial policymakers were increasingly relying on concessions, rather than force, to outmanoeuvre nationalists out in the Empire. For the buf, this all smacked of effeminacy and they responded with a ‘new man’ based on the masculine values of the idealized imperial frontier. By transplanting these values from colony to metropole, they hoped to achieve their fascist rebirth of Britain and its Empire. This article charts the buf’s construction of this imperial ‘new fascist man’ out the legacy of earlier imperialists, the canon of stories of imperial hero- ism, and the gendered hierarchies of colonial racism. Keywords Britain – fascism – empire – imperialism – masculinity – whiteness – Mosley – Chesterton The debate over the legacy of the British Empire, particularly over the de- gree to which the domestic British nation was affected by the Empire and over what effect the Empire had on British racial thinking, remains © Liburd, 2018 | doi 10.1163/22116257-00702006 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the prevailing cc-by-nc license at the time of publication. -
Haters, Baiters and Would-Be Dictators: Anti-Semitism and the UK Far Right
Published on Reviews in History (https://www.history.ac.uk/reviews) Haters, Baiters and Would-Be Dictators: Anti-Semitism and the UK Far Right Review Number: 1964 Publish date: Thursday, 4 August, 2016 Author: Nick Toczek ISBN: 9781138853485 Date of Publication: 2016 Price: £75.33 Pages: 304pp. Publisher: Routledge Publisher url: https://www.routledge.com/Haters-Baiters-and-Would-Be-Dictators-Anti-Semitism-and-the-UK-Far- Right/Toczek/p/book/9781138853508 Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Paul Blanchard It has become a cliché to begin articles, reviews or books covering research into Britain’s far-right by explaining how the field has blossomed over recent years. Studies of the inter-war period in particular have developed over the last few decades, from a few books and articles into a large and – for those who are new to the subject – overwhelming discipline. However, the bulk of this research is focused upon British Fascism, a term used to describe the three fascist (or professed fascist) groups that arose between 1923 and 1939. These were the British Fascists (formed as the British Fascisti), the Imperial Fascist League, and most famously, the British Union of Fascists. Other groups have attracted interest, but for the most part, this interest comes through the lens of fascist studies. In other words, a variety of far-, extreme-, and radical-right groups emerged between the wars, but they are usually studied insofar as they preceded or worked with fascists. The Britons, one such group, and their founder are the main focus of Nick Toczek’s Haters, Baiters and Would-be Dictators. -
Prophecy, Cosmology and the New Age Movement: the Extent and Nature of Contemporary Belief in Astrology
PROPHECY, COSMOLOGY AND THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT: THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF CONTEMPORARY BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY NICHOLAS CAMPION A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Bath Spa University College Study of Religions Department, Bath Spa University College June 2004 Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge helpful comments and assistance from Sue Blackmore, Geoffrey Dean, Ronnie Dreyer, Beatrice Duckworth, Kim Farnell, Chris French, Patrice Guinard, Kate Holden, Ken Irving, Suzy Parr and Michelle Pender. I would also like to gratefully thank the Astrological Association of Great Britain (AA), The North West Astrology Conference (NORWAC), the United Astrology Congress (UAC), the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR) and the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR) for their sponsorship of my research at their conferences. I would also like to thank the organisers and participants of the Norwegian and Yugoslavian astrological conferences in Oslo and Belgrade in 2002. Ill Abstract Most research indicates that almost 100% of British adults know their birth-sign. Astrology is an accepted part of popular culture and is an essential feature of tabloid newspapers and women's magazines, yet is regarded as a rival or, at worst, a threat, by the mainstream churches. Sceptical secular humanists likewise view it as a potential danger to social order. Sociologists of religion routinely classify it as a cult, religion, new religious movement or New Age belief. Yet, once such assumptions have been aired, the subject is rarely investigated further. If, though, astrology is characterised as New Age, an investigation of its nature may shed light on wider questions, such as whether many Christians are right to see New Age as a competitor in the religious market place. -
Totalitarian Communication
The Lure of Fascism? Extremist Ideology in the Newspaper Reality Before WWII JOHN RICHARDSON Although a great deal of research has been published examining British fascism during the 1930s, the vast majority of this work, perhaps neces- sarily, has focused on various party literatures as the definitive voices of the political parties. Aside from the infamous support that Rother- mere and the Daily Mail provided the British Union of Fascists, thus far, there has been comparatively little examination of the circulation of totalitarian ideologies in the wider national culture.1 Even the current ‘cultural turn’ in fascist studies tends to focus analytic attention on the officially ratified outputs of explicitly named fascist parties (see: Gottlieb and Linehan, 2004). Inevitably, I would argue, this impoverishes our understanding of fascism—of its origins, its growth, its success, and the potentials for its recurrence. In relation to the British fascist tradition, “it is impossible to understand organised hostility to minority groups without reference to wider cultural traditions in British society” (Kushner and Lunn 1989: 5). And these cultural traditions need not be an epoch’s ‘big hitters’ and ‘leading lights”. Indeed, we could make a case that all “cultural epochs depend on their backstage staff as much as their top billers and it is often the lesser lights who contribute more fully to an era’s Zeitgeist” (Bradshaw 2004: 145). This is because cultural and politi- cal ‘leading lights’ are, necessarily, in some sense extraordinary; for an 1 | Notable exceptions are Pugh (2006) and Stone (2003), though Stone’s work fo- cuses on British responses to Nazism from 1933, while the present chapter examines texts published at the end of 1932. -

The New Age Movement: Monolithic Or Pluralistic?
THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT: MONOLITHIC OR PLURALISTIC? Thousands of pages could be written, indeed have been written, about the New Age Movement. This monograph is a condensation of 400 pages of personal notes, with a bibliography of almost 400 books, cassettes, journal articles and clippings. It is intended to stimulate further study of the Movement as it continues to develop and spread. INTRODUCTION The words i•New Age" appear to be a recent addition to our vocabulary, but in truth the Movement has existed for almost a quarter of a century. The impression that it has appeared quite suddenly has been created by the media that report on its more trivial and sensational manifestations and frequently overlook its serious philosophical/religious side. Popular writers such as Constance Cumbey, Dave Hunt and T. A. MacMahon, and even New Age sociologist Marilyn Ferguson, make the New Age Movement appear much more monolithic than it is. On the other hand, although New Agers tend to write, speak and act quite independently, there is enough agreement among them to define the New Age Move ment as a distinct philosophical and religious entity in itself. It is easy to confuse the philosophical/religious side of the New Age Move ment with secular humanism, but while there are some similarities, the New Age is not the same as secularism -- any more than it is the same as Eastern mysti cism, although it borrows freely from that source also. The New Age Movement is an olio of secular humanism, a variety of Eastern religions, humanistic psychol ogy, superstition and pagan pantheism. -
