I can think of few more powerfully anti-fascist books than Genzaburo Yoshino's How Do You Live? (trans Bruno Navasky).
The tale of a 15yo Tokyoite learning to stand-up to pseudo-patriotic bullies in an increasingly militaristic 1937 Japan, written soon after Yoshino was freed from prison.

Today I’m reading “Ito Return to Japan and Finds Herself in a Real Pinch” by Hiromi Ito (yes, more-or-less the same Ito), trans. Jeffrey Angles, via @wwborders.bsky.social.
