The shocking images
of neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville, North Carolina in the
summer of 2017 linger in the mind, but so do those of the passionate
protestors who risked their lives to do the right thing. In this
stirring graphic non-fiction book by the acclaimed author of The 500
Years of Resistance Comic Book, Gord Hill looks at the history of
fascism over the last 100 years, and the concurrent antifa movements
that work fastidiously to topple it.
Fascism is a
relatively new political ideology and movement, yet in its short
history some of the greatest atrocities against humanity have been
carried out in its name. Its poisonous roots have taken hold in every
region of the world, from its beginnings in post-World War I Italy,
through Nazi Germany, Franco’s Spain, and the KKK in America. And
today, emboldened by the American president, fascism is alive and
well again. At the same time, antifa activists have proven, through
history and again today, that the spirit of resistance is alive and
well, and necessary.
In The Antifa Comic
Book, Gord Hill documents these powerful moments of conflict and
confrontation with a perceptive eye and a powerful sense of resolve.
