Title : Against the Fascist Creep Material Type: printed text Authors: Alexander Reid Ross, Author Publisher: AK Press ISBN (or other code): 978-1-84935-244-4 Languages : English (eng) Abstract: What are the origins of fascism’s current rise in the US and around the world?
What are its links to Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, Kris Kobach, Ken Blackwell, and others in the new administration?
How has Vladimir Putin used the global far right to increase his power and influence?
Where did hate-speech celebrities like Richard Spencer and Milo Yiannopolous come from?
What role has Silicon Valley played in the fascist creep?
As the election of Donald Trump shows, fascism in all its white nationalist and “alt-right” permutations is alive and well in the United States. A terrifying tour of the history and influence of the forces that helped bring the forty-fifth president to power, Against the Fascist Creep maps the connections and names the names. It traces today’s often-disguised forms of rightwing extremism through the decades and across the globe to show how infiltration is a conscious and clandestine program for neofascist groups that seek to co-opt and undermine both mainstream and left-wing institutions in order to win elections, take political power, and create a new racist and authoritarian society.Against the Fascist Creep [printed text] / Alexander Reid Ross, Author . - [S.l.] : AK Press, [s.d.].

ZinesAbstract: From the inside:
"Luddites;liberationists; abolitionists; union organizers; revolutionaries...Fro m large uprisings challenging the entire political structure, to isolated environmental and social struggles, people have constantly worked to create a better world. To government the response has always been to jail activists and revolutionaries using the courts and the police forces at hand. As direct action movements become more effective, government surveillance and harassment will increase. To minimize the destructiveness of this political repression, it is imperative that we create a security culture within our movement. This pamphlet is essential reading for anyone who is associated with groups that advocate and/or utilize sabotage, theft, arson and more militant tactics. The advice herein also applies to anyone who is associated with groups that practice civil disobedience."An Activist Security Handbook [printed text] / various, Author . - [S.l.] : Monkeywrench Press, 2000.

Title : Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook Material Type: printed text Authors: Mark Bray, Author Publisher: Melville House Publication Date: 2017 ISBN (or other code): 978-1-612-19703-6 Languages : English (eng) Abstract: In the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville, VA, and Donald Trump's initial refusal to denounce the white nationalists behind it all, the "antifa" opposition movement is suddenly appearing everywhere. But what is it, precisely? And where did it come from?
As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism — also known as “antifa.” Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in Europe during the 1920s and ’30s, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amidst opposition to the Trump administration and the alt-right. They could be seen in news reports, often clad all in black with balaclavas covering their faces, demonstrating at the presidential inauguration, and on California college campuses protesting far-right speakers, and most recently, on the streets of Charlottesville, VA, protecting, among others, a group of ministers including Cornel West from neo-Nazi violence. (West would later tell reporters, "The anti-fascists saved our lives.")
Simply, antifa aims to deny fascists the opportunity to promote their oppressive politics, and to protect tolerant communities from acts of violence promulgated by fascists. Critics say shutting down political adversaries is anti-democratic; antifa adherents argue that the horrors of fascism must never be allowed the slightest chance to triumph again.
In a smart and gripping investigation, historian and former Occupy Wall Street organizer Mark Bray provides a detailed survey of the full history of anti-fascism from its origins to the present day — the first transnational history of postwar anti-fascism in English. Based on interviews with anti-fascists from around the world, Antifa details the tactics of the movement and the philosophy behind it, offering insight into the growing but little-understood resistance fighting back against fascism in all its guises.Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook [printed text] / Mark Bray, Author . - [S.l.] : Melville House, 2017.

Title : Black Power and Student Rebellion : Conflict on the American Campus Material Type: printed text Authors: James McEvoy, Author ; Abraham Miller, Author Publisher: Wadsworth Publication Date: 1969 ISBN (or other code): B000EW6044 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing
Student MovementsKeywords: Black Power, Activism, Student Movements Abstract: The demands of both black and white students, which are causing controversy and crisis on many American campuses, are specific to their particular colleges only in a minor sense. Even student moderates whom we have interviewed (for our article on San Francisco State) see the college as simply part of a larger set of coercive social institutions and agents--"the System" run by "the Establishment." Student dissatisfactions with the campus are usually expressed in terms of general disapproval of society. In their judgment, society (and their college or university) is racist, corrupt, morally bankrupt and unresponsive and rigid in dealing with the oppressed, whether they be blacks, students, or the poor. Their oppressors are not simply the dean, the college president, or the board of trustees; they include Reagan, Johnson, Nixon, the war machine, and the hordes of complacent middle-class benefactors of a politically cynical, immoral--but affluent--society.
Moreover, these students are not simply indignant, angry, frustrated, or alienated. They share a sense of extremely high political efficacy: they believe not only that they must, but that they can do something about the present state of affairs. At the same time, they greatly distrust the national political system.
This is a critical and volatile combination. Theoretical work by William A. Gamson and empirical evidence from Detroit and Newark ghetto rioters, collected and analyzed by Jeffery Paige, suggest that a high sense of political efficacy and low political trust, when they occur together, are major determinants of revolutionary behavior. This model of revolutionary behavior does not seem to be restricted to new left or black nationalist movements alone. Research by McEvoy suggests that this same configuration of attitudes was disproportionately frequent among early supporters of Senator Goldwater in 1964-an affluent, middle to upper class, conservative, activist group.
The students at San Francisco State, Columbia, Berkeley, Wisconsin, and other campuses on which dissent has recently culminated in violence and confrontation, have seen no further need to "work through channels," because campus channels are not . . .Black Power and Student Rebellion : Conflict on the American Campus [printed text] / James McEvoy, Author ; Abraham Miller, Author . - [S.l.] : Wadsworth, 1969.
