British National Party: Topical Bibliography SOCIAL SCIENCE COLLECTION GUIDES TOPICAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES www.bl.uk/socialsciences A timeline of resources on the British National Party INTRODUCTION The following timeline and resource guide is written in the context of the gains made by the British National Party at the June 2009 European Parliamentary Elections, and subsequent wider discussion about the party. Its focus is on the ideological background of the party, its founders and key figures. This resource guide covers four types of material: • commentary and research on the far right and electoral behaviour in the UK; • contemporary news reporting; • publications and websites of the BNP, National Front and other far-right groups (and recordings of members); and • publications and websites of anti-fascist organisations. It is not an exhaustive bibliography, but seeks to describe the rich resources held at the Library to improve understanding of this controversial topic. The guide was compiled as part of a six week research project carried out by Nicole LaLonde, an MA postgraduate student, at the Library. The foreword, written by Nicole, explains more about the origins and aims of that project, and how this timeline has been structured. Many of the sources listed in this guide take a strong political and ideological bias. As with previous guides, no political viewpoint is expressed, although due to the nature of some of the sources covered, and the material being retained unexpurgated as a valid record of what has been expressed, users are warned that certain items contain racist or otherwise offensive material. They may contain text, images and comments that could cause offence, and involve issues of race and racism. Readers are advised to keep these considerations in mind when using this guide. Please note that the British Library neither endorses, nor can be held responsible for, any information provided by external websites or publications listed herein. FOREWORD This bibliography was created as part of a six week research project in conjunction with my work as an MA postgraduate student at Indiana University Bloomington, IN, USA. From the beginning, my purpose was twofold; • to create a final product that highlights the variety of British Library resources; and A timeline of resources on the British National Party Page 1 of 25 Social sciences collection guides Topical bibliographies • to use my research as a case study for that product. Because of this, the work took on a life of its own: I initially planned to look at the emergence of the far-right in European politics, drawn to this topic by the recent European elections of 2009; what I ended with, was a case study of one particular party, the British National Party (BNP), its history, and the implications and significance of its recent political success. I became interested in a placement at the Library after I attended the symposium held there on the 2009 European Parliament elections. I was able to take part in illuminating discussions on the recent elections, as well as learning about some exciting new projects, such as the Library’s involvement in archiving websites connected to the elections, and the new guide to the European Union Collections. I was lucky enough to arrange a research project with Jude England, Head of Social Science Collections and Research, and Ian Cooke, Lead Content Specialist in International and Political studies. Both were interested in a project that would highlight the amazing variety and volume of resources available to researchers through the Library. After much deliberation, the final format of the bibliography follows a timeline. This starts with the European elections in 2009, and then runs from the 1950s up to recent events. I have placed the sources in relation to the events and topics that they cover. In most instances, such as pamphlets and news headlines, the sources were published contemporarily. Sources which analyse earlier periods are positioned in the timeline with the events they discuss. For example: The political breakthrough of the BNP: the case of Burnley by James Rhodes—published in 2004—is categorized under 2001 in the bibliography, which is when the Burnley elections which he is writing about took place. My focus is on the BNP in the last decade. I have restricted the primary and historical sources, pre-BNP, to items that I find relate directly to the history of the Party, past and current members, and events which influenced the ideologies under examination. There are some notable unique sources in the bibliography, including collections from the Library’s sound archive as well as non-mainstream publications by both the far-right and anti-fascist organizations. When I began my work, I was interested in looking at the emergence of far-right parties in the recent European Elections. Some countries, like France and Italy, have long had institutionalised far-right parties, for instance the Front National in France under Jean Le- Pen. Countries for which previously marginalised far-right parties had gained seats in the European Parliament in 2009, included the Netherlands, Romania, and now Britain. Early investigation revealed the breadth of this topic, and, considering the time I had to conduct the research, I knew that I would have to narrow the focus down. Having lived in the UK for three years, and having married a British citizen, understandably my interests were drawn to the case of Britain, where the British National Party had just gained two seats in the European Parliament. Although some have suggested this relatively small representation will have little impact, it must be considered in the context of what the party, and its leadership, has been working toward A timeline of resources on the British National Party Page 2 of 25 Social sciences collection guides Topical bibliographies in the past decade: political legitimacy and respectability. This recent success, when examined in relation to the growing success of the party in local elections as well as its latent support in exit polls, (i.e. there are considerably less people today who would not consider voting for the party), is significant and warrants careful study. Another factor to consider is the limited information gathered about support for the party, compared with others, which leaves a gap of information by which we can judge its potential significance (See John, P. & Margetts, H., 2009. The latent support for the extreme right in British politics, West European Politics, Vol 32 pt 3). Labelling the BNP as 'insignificant' has in some ways restricted opportunities to examine and challenge the party. Perhaps we should be less surprised by their recent national success than many seem to be. I would like to thank Jude England who made this opportunity possible, Ian Cooke who helped me so much along the way, and everyone on the Social Sciences Collections and Research team. I would also like to thank Christian Algar at the Colindale newspaper library for showing me the ropes and Andy Simons in Modern British Collections, whose insight and knowledge on the topic of the far right in Britain has been of great inspiration and assistance to me. It is my hope that through this project I may, at the least, illuminate the immense service which The British Library offers to researchers of all disciplines.

  • Libertarian Marxism Mao-Spontex Open Marxism Popular Assembly Sovereign Citizen Movement Spontaneism Sui Iuris
    Autonomist Marxist Theory and Practice in the Current Crisis Brian Marks1 University of Arizona School of Geography and Development [email protected] Abstract Autonomist Marxism is a political tendency premised on the autonomy of the proletariat. Working class autonomy is manifested in the self-activity of the working class independent of formal organizations and representations, the multiplicity of forms that struggles take, and the role of class composition in shaping the overall balance of power in capitalist societies, not least in the relationship of class struggles to the character of capitalist crises. Class composition analysis is applied here to narrate the recent history of capitalism leading up to the current crisis, giving particular attention to China and the United States. A global wave of struggles in the mid-2000s was constituitive of the kinds of working class responses to the crisis that unfolded in 2008-10. The circulation of those struggles and resultant trends of recomposition and/or decomposition are argued to be important factors in the balance of political forces across the varied geography of the present crisis. The whirlwind of crises and the autonomist perspective The whirlwind of crises (Marks, 2010) that swept the world in 2008, financial panic upon food crisis upon energy shock upon inflationary spiral, receded temporarily only to surge forward again, leaving us in a turbulent world, full of possibility and peril.

  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • Hate Crime Report 031008
    HATE CRIMES IN THE OSCE REGION -INCIDENTS AND RESPONSES ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2007 Warsaw, October 2008 Foreword In 2007, violent manifestations of intolerance continued to take place across the OSCE region. Such acts, although targeting individuals, affected entire communities and instilled fear among victims and members of their communities. The destabilizing effect of hate crimes and the potential for such crimes and incidents to threaten the security of individuals and societal cohesion – by giving rise to wider-scale conflict and violence – was acknowledged in the decision on tolerance and non-discrimination adopted by the OSCE Ministerial Council in Madrid in November 2007.1 The development of this report is based on the task the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) received “to serve as a collection point for information and statistics on hate crimes and relevant legislation provided by participating States and to make this information publicly available through … its report on Challenges and Responses to Hate-Motivated Incidents in the OSCE Region”.2 A comprehensive consultation process with governments and civil society takes place during the drafting of the report. In February 2008, ODIHR issued a first call to the nominated national points of contact on combating hate crime, to civil society, and to OSCE institutions and field operations to submit information for this report. The requested information included updates on legislative developments, data on hate crimes and incidents, as well as practical initiatives for combating hate crime. I am pleased to note that the national points of contact provided ODIHR with information and updates on a more systematic basis.
