An insider's account of the anarchists who ignited Occupy Wall Street.

Focused and persuasive... Bray's book is many things: the first English- language transnational history of antifa, a how-to for would-be activists, and a record of advice from anti-Fascist organizers past and present.-THE NEW YORKER Insurgent activist movements need spokesmen, intellectuals and apologists, and for the moment Mark Bray is filling in as all three... The book's most enlightening contribution is on the history of anti-fascist efforts over the past century, but its most relevant for today is its justification for stifling speech and clobbering white supremacists.-Carlos Lozada, THE WASHINGTON POST [Bray's] analysis is methodical, and clearly informed by both his historical training and 15 years of organizing, which included Occupy Wall Street...Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook couldn't have emerged at a more opportune time. Bray's arguments are incisive and cohesive, and his consistent refusal to back down from principle makes the book a crucial intervention in our political moment.-SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Bray's aim is to present an accessible genealogy of today's militant anti-fascist movement... Antifa is written from a commendable place of engagement and provides a serviceable genealogy for militant anti-fascism in the present, and Bray's often well-reasoned defense of controversial tactics should and will make the critics reflect. The book is at its best when criticizing the liberal view that official democratic institutions alone are sufficient to prevent a fascist seizure of power. -LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS Incisive-THE NEW YORK TIMES Vital... [Bray] gives a straightforward and clear-headed evaluation of the movement. And there is an urgency here: Cranked out quickly post-Trump and released the week of the Charlottesville white supremacist attack, Antifa Handbook is hard history, a call to action, and an even-handed and reasonable explanation as to why we need to be way less damned reasonable.-THE BALTIMORE BEAT Mark Bray does a great job detailing the movement's growth in the U.S. and giving historical context to the antifa's resurgence. Read the book if you want to learn even more... -REVEAL NEWS [An] excellent introduction, which serves as a reasoned and passionate defense...Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook serves as an educational tool for those whose inclination is to support antifa because they oppose fascism and white supremacy, but remain on the fence... Bray's concise and multilayered text is an essential aid in that task. -COUNTER PUNCH Mark Bray's Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook arrives as a timely and thoroughly researched primer on the movement's philosophy and tactics...readers of Antifa can be assured of gaining insight on an increasingly visible and misunderstood group looking to keep the genocidal past from repeating. -PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE Antifa urges people to organize against fascism before it organizes against us. -THE STRANGER In the Trump era, Bray's Handbook is essential reading. -PROGRESSIVE MAGAZINE

Especially in less-developed countries, governments face great difficulties in financing education systems. Households commonly have to make major contributions of resources in order to bridge the gaps. Cambodia is among the countries in which government capacity has been particularly constrained, and in which the household costs of schooling have been especially high. This situation has created a major burden for poor families, and has exacerbated social inequalities. The Cambodian authorities in conjunction with donor agencies have devised policies to address the problem. They have had some significant successes, though many challenges remain. This book presents empirical data on the household costs of primary and lower secondary schooling. It builds on previous research which received considerable attention both nationally and internationally, and shows changes over time. The book has wide conceptual and policy significance, not only within Cambodia but also internationally.

Approaches and methods in comparative education are of obvious importance, but do not always receive adequate attention. This second edition of a well-received book, containing thoroughly updated and additional material, contributes new insights within the longstanding traditions of the field. A particular feature is the focus on different units of analysis. Individual chapters compare places, systems, times, cultures, values, policies, curricula and other units. These chapters are contextualised within broader analytical frameworks which identify the purposes and strengths of the field. The book includes a focus on intra-national as well as cross-national comparisons, and highlights the value of approaching themes from different angles. As already demonstrated by the first edition of the book, the work will be of great value not only to producers of comparative education research but also to users who wish to understand more thoroughly the parameters and value of the field.

Private supplementary tutoring, often referred to as shadow education, has seen significant global expansion, consuming family resources, providing employment for tutors, and impacting regular schools. Despite its growth into a major industry and daily routine for many students and families, research on this phenomenon has lagged behind. The topic is challenging to study due to its elusive nature, with unclear boundaries and reluctance from participants to share their experiences. This book presents methodological insights from diverse cultures, featuring chapters from both high- and low-income regions across Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East. Together, these chapters offer valuable perspectives on research design and execution. The content aims to enhance the understanding of both consumers and producers of research. Consumers will learn to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of existing literature, while producers will gain insights into designing research instruments, collecting data, and interpreting results. The editors, Mark Bray, Ora Kwo, and Boris Jokić, bring their expertise from prestigious academic institutions, contributing to a comprehensive exploration of shadow education.
