Zines are a way for lots of authors — particularly those who don’t often get a seat at the traditional publishing table — to get their work out into the world.
They’re part of what Amber McCrary calls the "radical publishing world."
McCrary is Navajo, and she started her own press, Abalone Mountain Press, to give Indigenous writers a place to turn.
She’s out now with a new zine in collaboration with three other Native authors called "Portals of Indigenous Futurism," which explores the complex idea from the authors’ various lenses.
The Show spoke with McCrary to learn about the zine and how she interprets the idea of Indigenous futurism.
