In White Skin, Black Fuel, Andreas Malm and the Zetkin Collective interrogate the far right's role in climate crisis. Malm and the Collective claim that fascists have always loved fossil fuels. From its racist and imperialist roots to its far-reaching implications for the future, fossil fuels sit at the center of political debate and social crisis. 

Eco-fascism and continuing use of fossil fuels derails visions of a livable future. Malm and the Collective draw on theoretical writings, anecdotes from climate activists and analysis of transnational politics to craft a must-read book to better understand how to fight fossil fascism through collective struggle.


“This bold and richly detailed study of far-right approaches to climate change is a revelation.”  – Geoff Eley, author of Nazism as Fascism  

“A highly engaging study, full of startling anecdotes and witty reflections. If you want to understand the political obstacles that will face climate action in the coming decades, this is a must-read.”  – Cara Daggett, author of The Birth of Energy  

"A beautifully written, passionate, richly researched warning about fossil fascism. With acute sensitivity, it traces the surprising connections between racist, nationalist ideology and climate denialism.” – Richard Seymour, author of Corbyn
