You Can Kill Each Other After I Leave

“Dives deep into into the world of Greece’s far right movement and monitors the country’s political struggle over the treatment of refugees” – The New York Times “You Can Kill Each Other After I Leave tells the story of the global rise of the far right by centering the reader in the Greek experience. The book weaves together a story that rests both on the heartbreaking reality of racism’s violent rise across Europe, and the inspiring commitment of the communities who have fought back. Strickland’s prose is incisive and poetic, lending incredible warmth to the struggle against the politics of fear and division. This is one of the best books written about our current political crisis, and it never loses sight of the real struggle for justice happening on the border and in the streets.” —Shane Burley, author of Safety through Solidarity“Veteran journalist Patrick Strickland provides a rigorous, thrillingly written look at how Greece became Europe’s ground zero for resurgent fascism—and at the activists fighting back.” —Molly Crabapple, author of Drawing Blood “The number of forcibly displaced people globally is currently at record highs and yet we too rarely hear their stories and challenges. This startling book could not be timelier as the far right surges in popularity from Austria to Germany and Sweden to Greece. Star investigative journalist and chronicler Patrick Strickland goes deep into today’s Greece and finds an ugly core, an emboldened fascism that provides inspiration to Europe’s anti-refugee alliances. This book is a warning that we’d be foolish to ignore.” — Antony Loewenstein, investigative journalist and author of The Palestine Laboratory“You Can Kill Each Other After I Leave offers a disturbing exploration of the trajectory of the anti-immigrant movement in Greece and beyond. An authoritative book on the dark events that led to the present political calamities across the West.” — Creede Newton, Senior Investigative Reporter, Southern Poverty Law Center
