By \"translating\" their ideas into everyday concepts like community empowerment and collective needs, these anarchists sparked the most dynamic American social movement in decades.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304685646197,"sku":"9781782791263","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781782791263_83ea9293-f907-45b9-a9ad-2226d8b934f7.jpg?v=1786025944"},{"product_id":"9781849355148","title":"The Anarchist Inquisition","description":"This repression sought to quash anarchist activities at the turn of the twentieth century. Mark Bray guides readers through this tumultuous era - from backroom meetings in Paris and torture chambers in Barcelona to international antiterrorist conferences in Rome and human rights demonstrations in Buenos Aires. Bray draws a vivid picture of the assassins, activists, torturers, and martyrs whose struggles set the stage for a previously unexamined era of human rights mobilization. Rather than assuming that human rights struggles and 'terrorism' are inherently contradictory forces, The Anarchist Inquisition analyzes how these two modern political phenomena worked in tandem to constitute dynamic campaigns against Spanish atrocities.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308533100917,"sku":"9781849355148","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781849355148_3629d82e-4556-4aae-89a0-6d93e8ac5d0f.jpg?v=1786028991"},{"product_id":"antifa","title":"Antifa","description":"\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Focused and persuasive . . .

Today, 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. Bray amply demonstrates that antifa simply aims to deny fascists the opportunity to promote their oppressive politics, and to protect tolerant communities from acts of violence promulgated by fascists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on interviews with anti-fascists from around the world, \u003ci\u003eAntifa\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484354027893,"sku":"9781612197036","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781612197036.jpg?v=1786266419"},{"product_id":"unpunctuated-death-threats","title":"Unpunctuated Death Threats","description":"On 22 September 2025, when Donald Trump announced a decree to categorize 'antifa' - a generic term for anti-fascism - as a 'terrorist organization,' Rutgers history professor, and New York Times bestselling author, Mark Bray little suspected his life was about to change radically. Years earlier, Bray had written a history book called Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook, and soon after Trump's decree, the right-wing student organization Turning Point USA petitioned for Bray's dismissal from his job. This was quickly followed by a series of increasingly virulent social media attacks, culminating in online death threats that included his home address. In the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder, Bray took the threats seriously and tried to flee the country with his wife and two small children - only to be stopped at the airport and interrogated by Department of Homeland Security agents. Eventually, amidst an explosion of international media attention, Bray and his family managed to escape to Spain. But the experience left him a wreck. In Notes From a Fascist Present, Bray offers a crucial meditative roadmap of the tragedy of the fascist present in the United States, and hopeful visions of a post-fascist future.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57555409305973,"sku":"9781685893071","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781685893071.jpg?v=1788791598"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-mark-bray.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
