"The exiled American historian Mark Bray discusses the profound changes occurring in U.S. domestic politics and recent events in Minneapolis.

Mark Bray (New York, 1982) is an American historian, writer, and activist who specializes in social movements. A History professor at Rutgers University (New Jersey), previously at Dartmouth College, Bray has established himself as one of the most influential voices in the West in the international debate on contemporary anti-fascism, thanks to his prestigious work *Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook* (2017), which catapulted him to fame and simultaneously placed him in the crosshairs of fascism in the U.S.

He has written other works such as *Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street* and *The Anarchist Inquisition: Assassins, Activists and Martyrs in Spain and France (1891–1909)*, which was recently published. His work combines historical research and intellectual commitment with critical thinking about resistance strategies against fascism and authoritarianism. His academic trajectory and participation in movements like Occupy Wall Street have made Bray a figure as respected as he is controversial within American public debate."

The author has made this book freely available — and it’s well worth reading.

The author, a Rutgers professor who taught about fascism, received so many threats against himself and his family that they eventually had to leave the country. On the day they were set to fly out, someone even called ahead and canceled their flight — but they ultimately made it out safely.

"Author of anti-fascism book harassed by right-wing activists for his work

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Following Charlie Kirk's assassination, President Trump signed an executive order. It designated antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, although it's not an actual organization.

MARK BRAY: When Charlie Kirk was killed, there was a concerted effort by Trump and his allies to take advantage of that for their own purposes.

MARTIN: Mark Bray is an historian who teaches at Rutgers University. Back in 2017, he published a book titled "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook." It's meant to educate people about anti-fascism movements, past and present.

BRAY: I come at this as a researcher but, of course, also as someone who opposes fascism. I consider myself an anti-fascist, but I have never been part of an antifa group. I am not now. I do not intend to be.

MARTIN: Over the last few weeks, Bray became a target of a stepped-up right-wing harassment campaign. Previously, Turning Point USA, the organization founded by Kirk, had added him to their professor watchlist, a project begun in 2016 to name and create dossiers on educators the group perceived as left wing.

BRAY: A number of far-right provocateurs started calling me a domestic terrorist professor online."
