Description
A talk exploring the ways in which the British Far Right, in particular the Third Way movement of the late 1980s through to early 2000s, had sought to engage with and use the environmental movement as a call for recruitment and radicalisation to action. This was compared and contrasted with the approach taken from the late 2000s to the late 2010s by the US-based National Socialist Movement and their creation of paramilitary and even para-state functions through specific programs of action that were framed against an environmental backdrop. The talk drew upon on a recent chapter in Visualising Far Right Environment, as well as research in the Searchlight Archive.| Period | 8 Oct 2023 |
