About This Book

This political zine focuses on issues of cultural appropriation and colonization, including in radical and anarchist communities. Compiled by and contributed to by Asian-American women, the zine specifically targets cultural/fashion appropriation, discussing the increasing popularity of Chinese characters, bindis, hip-hop fashion, "white trash" fashion, dreadlocks, and mohawks. There are some clipping and pictures, but the zine is primarily article based. Contributors discuss childhood experiences and their current understanding of capitalism, fashion, and oppression. They also provide an anti-racism 101 guide. Some of them, the daughters of immigrants, lament the loss of their cradle tongue.
