This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran!<\/a><\/em> we talk to James Hogg. James is a PhD candidate and an organiser at Melbourne\u2019s New International Bookshop<\/a>. His research ‘focuses on Australian anti-fascism in the twentieth century, with an emphasis on the role of migrants and the Communist Party of Australia’. James recently authored ‘\u201cFascism Can Only Grow in Secrecy\u201d: Greek and Yugoslavian Anti-Fascism in Melbourne\u2019s \u201cLong 1960s\u201d’ (Labour History<\/em>, No.126, May 2024) which elaborates on the role of anti-fascist groups Restoration of Democracy in Greece (CRDG), the Yugoslav Settlers\u2019 Organisation (YSA), and its successor, The Committee for Democracy in Australia (CDA) during the ‘long 1960s’:<\/p>\n

Studies of post-war anti-fascism in Australia have recently generated new insights into the continuities and transformations of post-war fascist and anti-fascist organisations. However, despite this upsurge in scholarship, the 1960s remain neglected. This article revises this absence through a case study of the Committee for the Restoration of Democracy in Greece (CRDG), the Yugoslav Settlers\u2019 Organisation (YSA), and its successor, The Committee for Democracy in Australia (CDA). It draws on press reports, left-wing publications, and security files to suggest the anti-fascisms of Melbourne in the 1960s were influenced by a parallel politics of anti-imperialism. It shows how both organisations were influenced by the historical experience of resisting fascism, particularly the concept of a \u201cunited front\u201d that facilitated a pan-left struggle against fascism and wider systems of oppression and domination. In doing so, this article contributes to the growing historiography on varieties of anti-fascism and their overlap with related emancipation movements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
