The Antifa Comic Book

di Gord Hill (Autore)

Arsenal Pulp Press, 2019

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. Since then, Antifa movements have received their own share of criticism for arguably engaging in the same tactics as their adversaries, but for most people engaged in social justice issues, Antifa protests are perceived as one of their only hopes in combating the evils of alt-right insanity. Blurb pitches to Mark Bray (author of The Antifa Handbook) and graphic novelist Joe Sacco (author of Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza). Publicity by Beth Parker, Beth Parker PR (New York).
