Brays book is many things: the first English-language transnational history of antifa, a how-to for would-be activists, and a record of advice from anti-Fascist organizers past and present."--THE NEW YORKER "Insurgent activist movements need spokesmen, intellectuals and apologists, and for the moment Mark Bray is filling in as all three... The books most enlightening contribution is on the history of anti-fascist efforts over the past century, but its most relevant for today is its justification for stifling speech and clobbering white supremacists."--Carlos Lozada, THE WASHINGTON POST"[Brays] analysis is methodical, and clearly informed by both his historical training and 15 years of organizing, which included Occupy Wall Street...Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook couldnt have emerged at a more opportune time. Brays arguments are incisive and cohesive, and his consistent refusal to back down from principle makes the book a crucial intervention in our political moment."--SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "Brays aim is to present an accessible genealogy of todays militant anti-fascist movement... Antifa is written from a commendable place of engagement and provides a serviceable genealogy for militant anti-fascism in the present, and Brays often well-reasoned defense of controversial tactics should and will make the critics reflect. The book is at its best when criticizing the liberal view that official democratic institutions alone are sufficient to prevent a fascist seizure of power." --LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS"Incisive"--THE NEW YORK TIMES"Vital... [Bray] gives a straightforward and clear-headed evaluation of the movement. And there is an urgency here: Cranked out quickly post-Trump and released the week of the Charlottesville white supremacist attack, "Antifa Handbook" is hard history, a call to action, and an even-handed and reasonable explanation as to why we need to be way less damned reasonable."--THE BALTIMORE BEAT "Mark Bray does a great job detailing the movements growth in the U.S. and giving historical context to the antifas resurgence. Read the book if you want to learn even more..." --REVEAL NEWS "[An] excellent introduction, which serves as a reasoned and passionate defense...Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook serves as an educational tool for those whose inclination is to support antifa because they oppose fascism and white supremacy, but remain on the fence... Brays concise and multilayered text is an essential aid in that task." --COUNTER PUNCH"Mark Brays Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook arrives as a timely and thoroughly researched primer on the movements philosophy and tactics...readers of "Antifa" can be assured of gaining insight on an increasingly visible and misunderstood group looking to keep the genocidal past from repeating." --PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE"Antifa urges people to organize against fascism before it organizes against us." --THE STRANGER"In the Trump era, Brays Handbook is essential reading." --PROGRESSIVE MAGAZINE Review Quote "Focused and persuasive...

Description for Sales People Anti-fascism (or Antifa) is a movement in opposition to fascist ideologies, originating in Europe in the 1920s. In the last year, the antifascist movement has grown exponentially and was the first to warn about the alt-right. While there are books advocating the anti-fascist movement, there are no similar books detailing what the movement is. Other books about anti-fascism stop at World War II; this one continues to the present. Covers antifa groups such as the Black Bloc, known for protesting at Berkeley against Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter.
