An ambitious history of much of the do it yourself "movement"—encompassing zines (of course), independent political magazines, bands, record labels, pirate radio, shows, and events. From zine archives to SchNEWS, Queercore to Riot Grrl, Situationists to punk rock, rebel radio to rave, it's all here. Largely grouped around several lengthy interviews (with the likes of Aaron Cometbus, G.B. Jones, Lisa Jervis of Bitch and more), this is an engrossing read, and worthy attempt to grapple with, and pull together, a vast amount of material.
