Duncombe argues that zines represent a model of participatory cultural production." – Chronicles of Higher Education From the Author:Īuthor's Comments on Notes from Underground "Readers are introduced to a remarkably diverse world of zines and their publishers, whose interests run the gamut: crusading for anarchy in our time, or for the revival of the eight-track tape.but for all of these subjects, silly or serious, Dr. Duncombe, a professor of American Studies and a zine-maker himself, locates zines within a wider bohemian tradition, and maps out both the potential and the limits of their cultural radicalism." – The Atlantic "A timely new critical study.throws some light on the current state of zines and what's at stake. "It was punk rock that gave us the current zine explosion, with its emphasis on authenticity, sneering disdain for slickness and consumerism, and determination to forge a community based on these principles.clever and funny.we'll always need the malcontents to show us creative ways to flip the bird to Massa." – High Times
