How to Defeat the Far Right:...

Nick Lowles

‘A brilliant and challenging book’ GORDON BROWN 
From the founder of Britain’s leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies – and how to go about it. 
If you’re shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you’re not alone. 
Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain – with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK – has been far from immune from far-right politics. 
From HOPE not hate’s pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the ‘manosphere’ and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of ‘race science’ and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain’s deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism. 
His conclusions – which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners – suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples – from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford – of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate. 
In his latest non-fiction work, Lowles explores the social and political ideologies that underpin totalitarianism and organised terrorism. It's a true biography of activists fighting against ethnic intolerance and fascism, making it a must-read for those interested in these topics.

Trail of Tears - The Cruel...

Kelly Mass

The Trail of Tears was a harrowing series of forced relocations that took place between 1830 and 1850, impacting approximately 60,000 American Indians from the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes." These tribes, which included the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, were driven from their ancestral lands in the Southeastern United States to designated areas west of the Mississippi River, an event orchestrated by the United States government. The forced removal was the culmination of a decades-long process of ethnic cleansing that occurred gradually, as tribes were stripped of their homelands, cultural identities, and livelihoods. Alongside them, thousands of African American slaves owned by these tribes were also relocated, compounding the tragedy. 
The Indian Removal Act, passed in 1830, paved the way for the systematic relocation of these tribes. It was during this period that the Cherokee removal in 1838—often considered the most infamous and final forced relocation east of the Mississippi—occurred. This event was largely triggered by the discovery of gold in Dahlonega, Georgia, in 1828, which sparked the Georgia Gold Rush. The prospect of wealth led state officials and settlers to covet Cherokee land, ultimately resulting in the forced march to the newly designated "Indian Territory" in what is now Oklahoma.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

The history of political ideologies is as old as civilization itself. Since the dawn of organized society, people have debated how power should be structured, who should govern, and what principles should guide leadership. These debates have given rise to various ideologies that have shaped nations, influenced policies, and determined the course of history. From monarchy and democracy to socialism and capitalism, political ideologies have evolved, merged, and sometimes clashed, reflecting the values and priorities of different societies.
At their core, political ideologies serve as frameworks for understanding the role of government, individual rights, and economic systems. They define the relationship between the state and its citizens, offering a vision of how a society should function. Some ideologies emphasize individual liberty and free markets, while others advocate for collective responsibility and state intervention. The spectrum of political thought is broad, ranging from the conservative defense of tradition to radical calls for revolution. While some ideologies have remained relatively stable over time, others have adapted to changing social and economic conditions.
Throughout history, political ideologies have been both a source of progress and division. The struggle between competing ideas has led to revolutions, wars, and the rise and fall of empires. Ideologies have inspired movements that fought for freedom, equality, and justice, but they have also justified oppression, discrimination, and totalitarian rule. The power of ideology lies in its ability to unite people under a common cause, but it can also create deep divisions, leading to conflict and unrest. Understanding political ideologies is crucial in making sense of global events, public policies, and societal changes.

Unlocking Scots - The Secret...

Clive Young

The Scots language is the hidden treasure of Scottish culture. For many of us it is still how we speak to each other, how we express our feelings, our humour, even our Scottishness. It not only connects us to our communities at an emotional level but also links us to our past. Scots was created by millions of voices coming together to share words, phrases and jokes; to understand, act on (and often laugh at) the world around them.

Aye, but what exactly is 'Scots' anyway?
Usually spoken in a mix with Scottish English, at least nowadays, is it really a language at all?
Was it ever?
And what about its future?

Dr Clive Young embarks on a quest to learn about the secret life of the language he spoke as a bairn. Along the way, he encounters centuries of intense argument on the very nature of Scots, from the first dictionaries, through MacDiarmid, The Broons, Trainspotting and on to present-day Twitter rammies. (And of course, endless stushies about how to spell it.) Some still dismiss Scots as 'just' a dialect, slang or bad English.

Behind this everyday disdain Dr Young uncovers a troubling history of official neglect and marginalisation of our unique minority language, offset only by a defiant and inspiring linguistic loyalty.

A refreshing counterbalance to the usual gloomy prognosis of Scots' supposedly 'inevitable' demise, Dr Young sketches out a practical roadmap to revitalise Scotland's beleaguered tongue and simple ways we can all keep it 'hale an hearty' for future generations.

Acause if you dinna dae it, wha wull?
