When skinheads and punks in the late 1980s found their communities invaded by white supremacists and neo-nazis, they fought back. Influenced by anarchism, feminism, Black liberation, and Indigenous sovereignty, they created Anti-Racist Action. At ARA’s height in the 1990s, thousands of dedicated activists in hundreds of chapters joined the fights—political and sometimes physical—against nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, anti-abortion fundamentalists, and racist police. Before media pundits, cynical politicians, and your uncle discovered “antifa,” Anti-Racist Action was bringing it to the streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on extensive interviews with dozens of ARA participants,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe Go Where They Go\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etells ARA’s story from within, giving voice to those who risked their safety in their own defense and in solidarity with others.

This is what hits me from this fascinating amalgam of incisive journalism, analytic prose and intellectually compelling vision that emanates from many years of brilliant activism. Sailing effortlessly from the domestic to the global, from Johannesburg to Belfast and from Chicago to Tel Aviv, Ali Abunimah paints a lucid, accessible picture out of a complex web of racism, racialized oppression, and creative resistance. Abunimah does not give us hope; he helps us dig for it within us by meticulously laying out before us the facts, the trends, the challenges and the inspiring resistance to them.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—Omar Barghouti, Palestinian human rights activist, co-founder of the BDS movement, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBoycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Battle for Justice in Palestine\u003c\/em\u003e, Ali Abunimah—the most astute commentator writing on Palestine today—bursts the leaky myths of Israeli exceptionalism while carefully examining where the battle for Palestine is currently being waged.
