The Lumpen Times: 30+ Years of Radical Media and Building Communities of the Future shares stories from a few dozen of the thousands of collaborators of these endeavors. It contains a visual survey of the printed matter produced over the past 3 decades which shows the evolution of the xeroxed and stapled zine into an internationally awarded cultural periodical. The book is a catalog of strategies, highlighting dozens of “case studies” demonstrating how artists, activists, educators, and creative entrepreneurs of all stripes have built community and culture in our beloved city of Chicago via the printed word, physical spaces, and over the airwaves and digital networks. Each study includes the reason it started, examples of its production, and the reasons it failed, mutated, or continues to this day. This archive showcases some of the secret histories of Chicago’s countercultural milieus over the last three decades.
