<p>From the desert to the streets to the beach to the border: A novel of the Southern California underground. </p><p><br></p><p>These six artists together reveal the spirit of the little-known zine community and how it embodies the resilience within all human beings. <strong>They're trying to make a difference. They're trying to save themselves. And they're on a collision course with each other.</strong> </p><p><br></p><p>Zines are informal self-published booklets. </p><p><br></p><p>Ezekial exposes police abuse with drones.

Her zine: <em>The Man Who Booed Littlefeather.</em> Viola uses fairy tales to break down stereotypes with her zine <em>O'Kindred.</em> Rocky rewrites the boundaries of gender in <em>Shake me the Boom Boom.</em> And Stanley looks for ghosts in traffic jams until he makes his first zine: <em>Untitled (Sad).</em><strong> </strong>Follow these six artists through a season of Southern California zine fests and get an insider's look into the folks trying to shape a 'New America.' </p><p><br></p><p>This is their manifesto: <strong>There is only dignity in revolt. </strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
