A review by briannadasilva
Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook by Mark Bray
3.0
Well... this was an interesting read. I can both say that I learned a lot of about the history of fascism and anti-fascism, and that I felt like everything I was reading was heavily biased, so it was hard to trust every claim it made.
Also, the writing itself was dry. There were long passages without breaks that were hard to stay focused on sometimes.
Did this book convince me on all its points regarding the best responses to fascism and authoritarianism? No.
Did I learn new things? Did it present some arguments that were persuasive? Yes.
Glad I finished it, but I'll definitely be reading more on this subject from different perspectives to get a more rounded understanding.
(And no, in case you're wondering, I don't mean hearing the perspectives of literal Nazis.)
