Frank FurediFrank Furedi is professor of sociology at the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK. Previously, as Frank Richards, he was founder and chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Great Britain, a left-wing political party which was expelled from the International Socialists in the 1970s, styling itself as the Revolutionary Opposition. Furedi was born in Hungary in 1948. His family emigrated to Canada after the failed 1956 uprising and has lived in Britain since the 1970s. The RCP published a newspaper The Next Step throughout the 1980s and the magazine Living Marxism in the 1990s. Under Furedi's guidance, the ex-RCP fused Marxist opposition to imperialism and libertarian anti-statist tendencies. He continues to be one of the leading figures of the LM group and has often been characterised by the media and various green campaign groups as an anti-environmentalist and pro-GM extremist. His supporters maintain that Furedi has said little on environmentalism, other than pointing out its "neo-Malthusian tendencies" and "anti-humanist excesses". Furedi's academic work is largely in the area of imperialism and development studies his books on the subject include The Mau-Mau war in Perspective, The New Ideology of Imperialism and The Silent War: Imperialism and the Changing Perception of Race. Furedi is freqently quoted in the media as an expert on how our society has become obsessed with risk. He writes regularly for Spiked. He has also written several books on the subject of risk, offering a counterpoint to the analyses of Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck, including Paranoid Parenting, Therapy Culture, and Culture of Fear. He wrote an article about risk culture post September 11, one of several publications from the charity Global Futures. During his LM / RCP days, he is alleged to have written under the pseudonyms Frank Richards and Linda Ryan. Bibliography As sole author - :Junius Publications, 1986 (ISBN 0948392053)
