Antifa: A Look at the Antifascist Movement Confronting White Supremacists in the Streets | Democracy Now!
thumbnail

Good interview with Mark Bray on Democracy Now! in which he does the important work of correcting the liberal media's pronunciation of antifa (seriously, while I'm sure there's a lot of regional variation in pronunciation, every time I hear anTEEfa I can't help but think the speaker is an uninformed pundit (like "Black Block Anarchist" after Seattle '99). Amy Goodman even changed her pronunciation at the end of the clip, because she's a pro).

Part 2 is here: https://www.democracynow.org/2017/8/16/part_2_antifa_a_look_at

He also has an article up on the WaPo website called "Who are the antifa?": https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2017/08/16/who-are-the-antifa/
