I'm very grateful to Ieuan Franklin - lecturer in History and Politics at Bournemouth University - for joining me on this one. In this episode, we talk about the Rock Against Racism movement of the late 1970s.  What was the National Front and why did its followers join it?How did Rock Against Racism get started and challenge the National Front's rhetoric of intolerance and exclusion? And finally, what have been the enduring legacies of the movement?We discuss all this and more (whilst also dropping in some late 70s punk and reggae music recommendations to add to your playlist!)
