Colocha-Head

Description:

Salvadoran and Guatemalan-American zinester Breena reclaims the word "colocha" (curly-haired) in this perzine about race and color discrimination, anti-blackness in Latinx culture, colorism, and Eurocentric ideals of beauty. The handwritten perzine, printed in color, includes the story of how the author's parents met and a note at the end in tribute to Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, Alex Nieto, Oscar Grant, and Jessica Hernandez.
