This book is based on the premise that understanding fascism is crucial for defeating it. Rejecting centrist paradigms that see fascism as "extremism" or "accelerationism," Braune argues that fascism must be addressed in its specificity and uniqueness as an ideology and movement.

'Joan Braune is delving into the socio-psychological roots of the fascist crisis and is helping us rebuild an empathetic, passionate, and vital social movement to protect our communities. This is an absolutely essential intervention that locates hope as a necessary weapon in the fight to stop the far right.'

'In a political climate where fascism and the far right, once seen as historical outliers, are on the rise and becoming increasingly mainstream, the terms used for them are being problematically applied and contested, and responses to them are largely top-down, security orientated and privilege perpetrators, Joan Braune's Understanding and Countering Fascist Movements is a much needed intervention. The book is underpinned by philosophical insight, community engagement, activist experience, and anti-racist and anti-fascist principles and objectives. By doing so, it provides both an understanding of and response to fascism, and an important contribution to both the literature and fight. I highly recommend this book to scholars, students, and activists, as well as others trying to counter such movements.'
