New book outlines history of fascism and anti-fascism

The connection between Perth and the far right ideology of Hitler is not immediately apparent but a new book by author Vashti Fox canvasses the struggle for and against the far-right across Australia across the decades.

Published by Routledge Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia  is launching on Friday night at the University of Western Australia.

Vashti and Dr Ben Rich from the Curtin Extremism Research Network joined Tom Reynolds for On The Record to talk about the book and Australia’s ties to fascism.
