ALT Book cover of Black radicals throughout the years Title: the Black AntiFascist tradition~fighting back from anti lynching to abolition Summary: essential book for understanding our present moment and the challenges ahead.In The Black Antifascist Tradition, scholar-activists Jeanelle K. Hope and Bill Mullen show how generations of Black activists and intellectuals from Ida B. Wells in the fight against lynching, to Angela Y. Davis in the fight against the prison-industrial complex have stood within a tradition of Black Antifascism.As Davis once observed, pointing to the importance of anti-Black racism in the development of facism as an ideology, Black people have been “the first and most deeply injured victims of fascism.”Indeed, the experience of living under and resisting racial capitalism has often made Black radicals aware of the potential for fascism to take hold long before others understood this danger.
