¡No Pasarán! The Popular Front Strikes Back
This issue’s cover (see the print edition here) celebrates the worldwide antifascist movement. In a year where countries across the globe—including the United States—are facing a surge of far-right parties, France saw a revival of the Popular Front, a broad antifascist coalition that managed to hold the Rassemblement National at bay. In the lead-up to the two rounds of elections, the French public sphere was rife with references to the French and Spanish struggles against fascism in the 1930s. The Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) sparked a wave of creativity that included poster art.
