Description: | This photo album was produced in 1937 to mark the fifth anniversary of the British Union of Fascists (BUF). This section of the album includes the BUF's version of events at the Battle of Cable Street, 6th October 1936. At Cable Street, a coalition of anti-Fascists stopped a provocative Blackshirt march through the East End from going ahead. The Blackshirt attempt to cast the anti-Fascists as 'alien' and other demonstrates the success of this tactic. Also notable here is the casual anti-semitism which is displayed when showing photos of 'typical specimens, snapped at Red demonstrations in London.' | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Communities Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1937 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
