No Pasaran: Antifascist Dispatches from a World In Crisis
with Shane Burley, Maia Ramnath, and Daryle Lamont Jenkins
“These writer-activists understand fascism to be a many-headed hydra that defies typologies and strongman tropes and can only be apprehended in the dialectic of resistance. Antifascism is not an exercise in abstract thinking but an active, collective struggle for a new world."
—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
We are pleased to welcome Shane Burley, the editor of No Pasaran (AK Press, 2022), and several of the books’ contributors for an inspiring and necessary discussion that gathers lessons and voices from antifascist movements around the world to offer the next steps for the antifascist movement. Come learn how to respond to the insurgent far-right and what it means to build a large, intersectional network of coalitions to fight for a better future.
"Shane Burley's multifaceted compendium of writings on antifascist resistance and the far right considerably advances the breadth of resources available to researchers and activists. Drawing on many of the leading voices at the cutting edge of antifascist theory and scholarship, ¡No Pasarán! skewers the popular one-dimensional interpretation of antifascism to reveal how our struggle must challenge all forms of oppression if we are to ever truly build a world free from fascism."
—Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook
"This is one of my favorite kinds of book, an indispensable resource for creating a world where it would be useless. Equal parts handbook, history and theory, it is both an excellent overview of militant struggles against fascism and a powerful weapon for the fights to come."
—Vicky Osterweil, author of In Defense of Looting: A Riotous History of Uncivil Action
