Hello, friend, I’m new to the movement and I was wondering if you could recommend any specific antifa readings? Thank you!

Sure! Here’s some of the books I‘ve read on it. 

These are mostly first-hand accounts from UK antifascists:
No Retreat: The Secret War Between Britain’s Anti-Fascists and the Far Right by Dave Hann, Steve Titzey

Beating the Fascists: The Untold Story of Anti-Fascist Action by Sean Birchall

Bash the Fash: Anti-Fascist Recollections 1984-93 by K. Bullstreet

Some books about older antifascist struggles:
Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell

The Ghetto Fights by Marek Edelman

Also, I have Militant Anti-Fascism: A Hundred Years of Resistance, which looks more like an international overview, but I haven’t read it yet.

There were also some good articles online about antifa recently but I can’t find them now :/ Any followers care to add any links?

Here is a good article by Manchester antifascists:

Antifascism is more than ‘Writing and Fighting’

“You are just as bad as They are” is a good article on antifascism and especially on the arguments used against militant antifascism and the use of violence in confronting fascism.

And note that while that is GREAT, you do not need to read any of it!
There’s tons of great antifas who just saw fascism, got pissed off and joined with other pissed off people to do something about it and figured the rest out along the way.
