Baltimore

  • 5 Want to read

This zine has taken many forms as Martens' creative outlet, primarily as a mamazine with lots of article excerpts and photographs. In this issue Martens focuses on the city of Baltimore and interviews several people in her neighborhood including an octogenarian and a 1960s radical. Martens' political focus remains as she writes about poverty and education, and a City College Hunger Strike, as well as her own struggle as a poor, single mother. Featuring several guest essays about Baltimore, Martens includes her photographs and poetry and a photograph from Vikki Law of Tenacious, Mama Sez No to War, and other zines.

Work Description

China Martens started her pioneering mamazine The Future Generation in 1990. She was a young anarchist punk rock mother who didn't feel that the mamas in her community had enough support, so she began publishing articles on radical parenting in an age before the internet. This anthology of her zine was first distributed in 2007 and has been out of print. Covering 16 years, The Future Generation uses individual issues as chapters, focusing on personal writing, and retaining the character of a zine that changed over the years--from her daughter's birth to teenagehood and beyond. Though first published in the 1990s, many of the essays and observations--about parenting, children, and surviving in a hostile political climate--still ring true today. PM Press is proud to present a 10th-anniversary edition including a new afterword by China's grown daughter.
