AMERICAN FASCISM, STILL!

This bold and urgent publication presents 20+ new prints and drawings by artist Sue Coe completed since the 2020 election, with an all new text by art historian Stephen F. Eisenman that examines the current collapse of democratic norms and the increasing acceptance of fascist rule in the United States. As with their prior book, American Fascism, Still! is a warning about the steady advancement of authoritarianism in American culture. This project was published to coincide with the 2022 American midterm elections.

Sue Coe (born 21 February 1951) is an English-born, American artist and illustrator working primarily in drawing, printmaking, and in the form of illustrated books and comics.

She lives in Upstate New York and is represented by Galerie St. Etienne in New York City.
