We Go Where They Go: The Story of Anti-Racist Action by Kristin Schwartz, Michael Staudenmaier, Shannon Clay, Lady

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This might be one of my favorite books. I’m heavily involved in the local punk scene where I live and learning about the political history, not in the 60s or whatever, but in the 90s and 2000s, is so empowering. It’s cool to know that we aren’t as detached from mass political organizing as mainstream shit wants us to think. ARA, with its many problems, is such a strong example of positive organizing that brought confrontation of fascism into the world stage, something that is severely lacking once again (at least in the United States). Definitely worth a read for those interested in Punk/Skin/Hardcore history and those interested in building up Antifa organizing as it gives a broad history and lots of reflection of positives and negatives of ARA.
