Product Description

Synopsis

For the first time since the 1970s when the National Front became Britain's fourth largest political party, the recent electoral success of the British National Party has put Britain's extreme right back on the political map. Nigel Copsey provides a clear and comprehensive analysis of the history of the British National Party and its struggle for political legitimacy. With far-right parties enjoying unprecedented success across Europe, this book also locates its subject in the broader international context.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inciteful, 18 Nov 2006
This is as far as I know the only book on the market that seriously deals with the rise of the British National Party. This book examines the variety of extreme nationalism that has existed in Britain post-war. In dealing with this subject the author also touches on unusual topics such as distributism as well as commenting on the impact on mainstream politics by these politic parties use of issues such as asylum seekers. This book is unlikely to be read by many people because of the price if nothing else. However anyone serious about modern politics cannot afford to be without a copy.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Contemporary British Fascism: The British National Party and the Quest for Legitimacy (Paperback)
This is a very controversial book in terms of its context and the intent to which there seems to be a deep nationalistic passion and a strong feeling of patriotism. The issues which have been taken into account relative to the context has to be primarily immigration and the issue of asylum seekers. The psychology of immigration and asylum seekers over the british public has to be a deep feeling of nationalist patriotic one. Thus the psychology of being an asylum seeker 'illeagle' in legitamate ocupation over a land, property, anything else which is identified with britishness and any european matter must be an issue taken considerable amount in trying to get the logic and the sense of rights taken these into action. I think with new elements of artistic and material creation and invention we can think about the prospect for future development of how citizenship should be rectified hence be given a legitimate stance over asylum seekers basically taking over british society thus british jobs and british marketability gradually in time.
I think asylum seekers should be taken into context when mentioned seriously enough to become a top debate in british society. The overall seriousness and considering the idea of what it could be like to think about the gradual taking over a society through mass immigration must be enhanced and judged objectively.
