Background Information
The term fanzine, or "zine" refers to a small, informal, non-professionally produced publication. Characteristics of zines include a small circulation and a raison d'etre that stresses free expression over profit. Zines are graphic expressions of their authors' social, cultural, and political interests and concerns. They are creative outlets devoted to individual and idiosyncratic self-expression. A zine might treat any topic -- politics, music, sex, gender relations, sports, pop culture, art, food. Latin American zines have a unique history of addressing controversial political, cultural, and social issues.
