TOPIC: THE FUTURE GENERATION: THE ZINE-BOOK FOR SUBCULTURE PARENTS, KIDS, FRIENDS AND OTHERS
Now, for the first time, 16 years of her zine and parenting writing life come together. This zine-book uses individual issues as chapters, focuses on personal writing, and retains the character of a zine that changed over the years—growing from her daughter’s birth to teenagehood and beyond. Personal and political; ideas and actions; the intimacy of a zine meets the arching reach of a book.
This primer on compassionate anti-authoritarian parenting really is crafted to make you think about how you should deal with children and respect them as human beings. Rooted in an underground publishing tradition, this zine-book gives voice to an underrepresented and much needed point of view, especially relevant to the countercultural community, but interesting for everyone—parents, kids, friends, and others!
'The original punk parent zine.' - Ariel Gore, Hip Mama
'The Future Generation is one of the most committed, radical and inspiring zines ever produced, anywhere.' - Jeff Bagato, Mole magazine
'What I've always loved about her zine is that it goes beyond just parenting. She really makes an effort to fit parenting into the greater context of the world.' - Sean Stewart, The NewPages Zine Rack
