With fascism in our midst, Indigenous artist Gord Hill
revises and expands his brilliant graphic history of fascism and
anti-fascist movements
When it was first published in 2018, Gord Hill's The Antifa Comic Book
was heralded for its searing imagery documenting the history of fascism
and anti-fascist movements over the last century. In the years since
its publication, the term "antifa" has been co-opted by the right to
falsely describe far-left political extremism and even terrorism. But
the role played by antifa movements in fighting fascism and racism
around the world remains as relevant and important as ever.
For this expanded edition, Gord Hill adds new material depicting more
recent flashpoints of fascist activity, including the January 6, 2021,
US Capitol attack, the murderous spree by Norwegian terrorist Anders
Breivik, the infamous 2022 Canadian convoy protests, and Islamophobic
and anti-migrant sentiment in a growing number of fascist governments in
Europe. At the same time, Hill depicts the important work being done by
anti-fascist individuals and organizations to combat this worrisome
trend, made all the more crucial by Donald Trump's return to the White
House.
Powerful and inspiring, The Antifa Comic Book is an important reminder of fascism in our midst and what can be done to stop it.
