Mamaphiles: Raising Hell includes contributions from radical parents on their experiences with childrearing, often in the context of political and radical identities. This zine contains poetry and prose that addresses such as mental health/depression and parenting, political activism, literacy, home-schooling, creativity and independence, divorce, single parenting, and poverty. Topics include the story of one family's detention in Israel, a mother's struggle to go to graduate school and deal with an unhappy child, a longtime activist's description of things he learned from being a father, and a mother's loving description of her loud and boisterous son. Accompanying the text are bios of the contributors and several photographs.
