About this book

This political compzine addresses the inclusion vs. alienation of parents, particularly mothers, within radical and anarchist culture, and at demonstrations like the FTAA protest in Miami. Filled with articles from radical/anarchist mothers, fathers, and non-parents, the zine is mostly text with a few cartoons. Mothers write about their struggles with childcare, criticism from "anti-breeders," feeling left out of activism and actions, and being pushed out of anarchist scenes because children were unwelcome. There is also a "mama survey," which includes responses to questions about support from anarchist/radical communities. Mothers also write about the experiences of living in collective housing and squats with children, support and lack of support from fathers, and how having children can also be a radicalizing experience.
