For Antifascist Futures: Against the Violence of Imperial Crisis

• Focuses on the long history of BIPOC antifascist resistance

• Goes beyond historicizing authoritarianism and fascism (and resistance to them) in a European context

• This book is a primer for how capitalism works in the world today, why there are increasing and compounding “crises” in our world, and how connected it is to domestic and imperial militarism abroad, xenophobia and border control, white supremacy and ethnonationalism, antisemitism and Islamophobia, and heteropatriarchy.

• The people reading racial justice books last summer will be rewarded with a rich analysis of how authoritarianism presently takes hold in cultural debates, political arenas, etc—and how to do something about it.

• Includes a discussion of the attack on critical race theory to reveal how fragile and reactionary fascist thought is—and why it has to undermine bodies of thought that promote equality and freedom.

• Contributors include scholars of American, ethnic, and global studies, as well as organizers and activists.
