The National Front was one of the most controversial political
parties in Britain. This exploration, first published in 1981, of
the NF ideology and its meaning for members is based on a
participation observation study which involved the development of
relations with its headquarters, and with branch staff and members
in several English cities. The fieldwork was carried out at
marches, branch meetings and rallies, and candidates, activists,
ordinary members and opponents of the NF were interviewed. Nigel
Fielding examines in detail the ethnography of the National Front,
describing its history, electoral performance and some demographic
characteristics of its membership. He investigates the party
ideology, concentrating on the key aspects of race, nationalism and
conspiracy theory. The party's involvement in overt and covert
political action is discussed, and tolerance of ambiguity in
adherence to ideology, are explored. In a final chapter the author
discusses the case for regarding active NF membership as evidence
of a commitment to an alternative conception of social reality
founded on fundamental disagreement with the political and social
order of the status quo. This book examines the problem of the
relationship between the beliefs and actions of the political
deviant in the context of a group which is involved in political
activism.
