ANTI-FASCISM - A READING LIST

Want to learn about the history of anti-fascism? Want some suggestions of what to read?

Then this is the thread for you...
Some general histories first, starting with @Mark__Bray ‘Antifa: A Handbook.’

This is an excellent historical overview with a good selection of interviews & quotes from anti-fascist activists.

Probably the best starting point for most people.
The ‘Antifa Comic Book’ by Gord Hill is also a great basic historical introduction.

The illustrations are brilliant & narrative traces development & evolution of anti-fascism in Italy, Germany, UK, Spain, France, Scandinavia, Russia, US, Canada etc
Two very good activist accounts are:

‘Militant Anti-Fascism: A Hundred Years of Resistance’ by M Testa

‘Physical Resistance: A Hundred Years of Anti-Fascism’ by Dave Hann.

Both focus on UK but also have some discussion of Italy, Germany & Spanish anti-fascism

Hope folks found this useful.

There are hundreds of books on Spanish Civil War & International Brigades, on Italian & German resistance to Fascism & Nazism & on partisans.

They’re not mentioned here but are obviously part of anti-fascist history & future threads!
