Sixty-seven writers and photographers bring alive the history of a cultural and political movement that helped change the world we live in. Told by participants, unified in a struggle on the dance floor and in the streets, to stop the Nazi National Front and to fight the poison of racism, this book marks RAR's 40th birthday. Every generation has to find a way to confront the racists in their midst. This is the story of how we fought them in the 1970's, with our music, art, photography and writing. Inspirational stuff. — Billy Bragg Reminiscences of RAR documents extraordinary stories of activism and heroism, told by everyday people, who challenged the social and political fabric of British life. The battles fought under the banner of Rock Against Racism—gender, race, class laid the paving stones for future generations to walk upon. An awe-inspiring love letter to the alliance between culture, compassion and street politics. — Daniel Rachel (author of Walls Come Tumbling Down: the music and politics of Rock Against Racism, 2 Tone and Red Edge)
