Backlash: The Global Rise of the Radical Right
‘With the far right continuing to consolidate power, Backlash is an essential guide to the different forms that authoritarian populism has taken and the different strategies it has employed ... Required reading not only for scholars but for those on the frontlines of fighting fascism’ John Feffer, author of Right Across the World
We live in an age of counterrevolution. Political and social gains of previous decades are being rolled back, while at the same time the atomisation and injustices of global capitalism intensify. Political leaders are scapegoating minorities and political enemies, while consolidating even more power and wealth for elites.
This collection of essays from an international team of leading researchers explores the global rise of the radical right and its social and political contradictions. Examining India, Eastern Europe, the US, Argentina, Germany and more, Backlash draws the connections between these movements and governments, providing crucial analysis for those looking for weaknesses in the terrifying rise of the far right.
‘An urgent book [which] shows how the rise of autocracy links to global upward transfers of wealth’ Sian Lazar, Professor, University of Cambridge

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
