Most of this zine chronicles Robs experiences at the Quebec City protests. He is articulate and thoughtful, and talks about how the experience of being gassed by police served to radicalize the protestors rather than dissuade them. Roa also briefly talks about this trip to India, reflecting on being a “brown” North American and on journeying to his father’s hometown. This was compelling stuff, but it quickly segues into a James Baldwin quote and a more pedantic essay on Rage Against the Machine and the old major label vs. indie debate. (Hal Niedzviecki)
