Description:
Mxd is a collection of poems and articles about being a mixed race person in the United States. Contributors including Lauren Jade Martin express the often uncomfortable and racist interactions they've had with others attempting to pin down their racial identity. The zine covers experiences of being a hapa, being half-black and half-white, creating a film about being half-black and half-Asian, having to "come out" as a Jew, and critiquing the faux-patriotism of America. The zine is stab bound with yarn.
