No Fascist Usa! de Hilary Moore

No Fascist Usa!

Autor Hilary Moore, James Tracy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 2020

Până la apariția acestui volum, istoriografia mișcărilor sociale americane prezenta o lacună semnificativă în ceea ce privește tranziția activismului radical de la finele anilor '70 către formele de organizare contemporane. No Fascist Usa! completează această piesă lipsă, oferind prima analiză detaliată a Comitetului John Brown Anti-Klan (JBAKC), o organizație care a definit rezistența împotriva resurgenței KKK în perioada administrației Reagan. Considerăm că forța acestui text rezidă în capacitatea autorilor Hilary Moore și James Tracy de a recupera o istorie marginalizată, pornind de la un eveniment punctual din 1977: o scrisoare trimisă dintr-o închisoare din New York care semnala recrutările făcute de Klan în rândul gardienilor. Remarcăm o structură riguroasă care urmărește progresia mișcării de la rădăcinile sale radicale până la implicarea în „războaiele culturale” și scena punk underground. Cartea nu se limitează la o cronologie aridă, ci integrează interviuri și materiale grafice inedite care documentează tacticile de confruntare stradală și demascare a supremațiștilor din funcții publice. Această lucrare completează perspectiva oferită de The Fiery Cross, adăugând o dimensiune critică despre rezistența activă a aliaților albi, acolo unde volumul lui Wyn Craig Wade se concentrează preponderent pe evoluția internă a clanului. Totodată, spre deosebire de analizele teoretice precum Fascism in America, volumul de față oferă o perspectivă practică, de la firul ierbii, asupra modului în care solidaritatea a fost construită în spații neconvenționale, precum închisorile și sălile de concerte. Descoperim aici un manual de strategii verificate, esențial pentru înțelegerea rădăcinilor mișcărilor anti-fasciste de astăzi.

Descriere

The story of how a national grassroots network fought a resurgence of the KKK and other fascist groups during the Reagan years, laying the groundwork for today''s anti-fascist/anti-racist movements. "Smash fascism! Read this book!"--Tom Morello, songwriter and guitarist with Rage Against the Machine "Studying the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee will give readers an understanding of the complexity of deconstructing the weapon of white supremacy from the inside out. Thank you Hilary and James for the precision of this analysis, and the true north of this star."--adrienne maree brown, author of Pleasure Activism and Emergent Strategy In June 1977, a group of white anti-racist activists received an alarming letter from an inmate at a New York state prison calling for help to fight the Ku Klux Klan''s efforts to recruit prison staff and influence the people incarcerated. Their response was to form the first chapter of what would eventually become a powerful, nationwide grassroots network, the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee, dedicated to countering the rise of the KKK and other far-right white nationalist groups. No Fascist USA! tells the story of that network, whose efforts throughout the 1980s--which included exposing white supremacists in public office, confronting neo-Nazis in street protests, supporting movements for self-determination, and engagement with the underground punk scene--laid the groundwork for many anti-racist efforts to emerge since. Featuring original research, interviews with former members, and a trove of graphic materials, their story offers battle-tested lessons for those on the frontlines of social justice work today. Praise for No Fascist USA!: "Hilary Moore and James Tracy have written a magnificent book that not only corrects the record but helps explain the mercurial rise of white supremacist organizations in the 1970s, how the Klan was (temporarily) defeated, and why this period has been largely ignored. No Fascist USA! radically shifts our perspective, challenging the prevailing wisdom that racist terrorism rises in response to economic downturns, white downward mobility, or in a vacuum created by progressive alternatives. I love this book."--Robin D.G. Kelley, from the foreword "No Fascist USA! is not only timely, but also essential in the present period of accelerated white supremacist activity and anti-racist organizing to combat it. In telling the story of the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee, the authors, without romanticizing or condemning, draw important lessons from the fifteen-year history of the group."--Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment "With its savvy blend of youth culture and street confrontation, the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee tried to stop Trumpism before Trump. They confronted the rise of white nationalism in prisons, workplaces, and music scenes when precious few paid attention to it . . . Hilary Moore and James Tracy have gifted us with an urgent read."--Dan Berger, author of Captive Nation: Black Prison Organizing in the Civil Rights Era "James Tracy and Hilary Moore deliver a searing, bold new work that examines another painful and complicated chapter in American race relations. In an eye-opening account, They are able to connect the dots of the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee, a band of contemporary predominantly white activists, and its efforts to expose white supremacist organizations. With a fresh eye and new research, their book uncovers with stunning precision how these groups remain active and exposes some of their unlikely alliances."--Laurens Grant, filmmaker, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution and Freedom Riders "We learned from history. You can too!"--Terry Bisson, author of Fire on the Mountain and former member of the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee "This book is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the roots of what happened in Charlottesville, and the burgeoning white nationalist membership lists in the U.S. today. We cannot possibly take on the challenges we face without learning from the past. This book is a necessary and long overdue contribution to inform the way forward."--Carla F. Wallace, co-founder, Showing Up for Racial Justice "I''ve waited thirty years for this book! Our emergency hearts have always driven uprisings to stop white terrorism, but it always takes more than black-bloc tactics in the streets to stop fascists. No Fascist USA! firmly connects today''s militant anti-fascist street-fighting movements with important living radical histories to disrupt the cycles that keep the spectre of fascism alive in the modern era. The struggles faced by the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee continue today in our difficult arc towards collective liberation."--scott crow, author of Setting Sights: Histories and Reflections on Community Armed Self-Defense
