This issue of Martens's anarchist mamazine discusses her personal struggle with poverty and the welfare system. She talks about the institutionalization of welfare and how being told to get a job is a useless strategy, as well as the ways that welfare is interpreted in racist and sexist ways. She then focuses on the difficulties of raising a child while being poor, as well as the peer influences her daughter has in regards to name brand items, which are often created in sweatshops. There is also an article on a hospital birth and cesarean-section written by a dad.

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.
