About this book

This book traces the rise of the French National Front and presents an analysis of the organisation's origins, structure and doctrine which concludes that the Le Pen phenomenon represents a modern and sophisticated form of fascism. The authors offer a critical assessment of how political parties and anti-racist organisations have responded to the National Front's exploitation of the immigration issue and examine the political arguments accompanying the reception of foreign workers and their families by French society during the twentieth century.

Reviews

'This is an excellent book and probably the best available English- language history of the Front National.' - David Renton, Contemporary Politics

'...comprehensive study of racism in France explaining clearly how the National Front has come to be such a threat.' - Andy Stafford, Socialist Review
