“Focused and persuasive... Bray’s 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 book’s 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
“[Bray’s] 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 couldn’t
have emerged at a more opportune time. Bray’s 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
“Bray’s aim is to present an accessible genealogy of today’s
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 Bray’s
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 movement’s growth in the
U.S. and giving historical context to the antifa’s 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... Bray’s concise and multilayered text is an essential aid
in that task.” —COUNTER PUNCH
“Mark Bray’s Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook arrives as
a timely and thoroughly researched primer on the movement’s
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, Bray’s Handbook is essential
reading.” —PROGRESSIVE MAGAZINE
