In Xicanistas & punkeristas say it loud, the writer Brenda Montaño amplifies the powerful narratives of Xicanas, who were essential yet overlooked contributors to the punk movement. Covering xicanistas and punkeristas from the suburbs of Southern California to the vibrant pueblos of Chiapas in Mexico, this fanzine celebrates the fierce spirit of self-identified "womyn" of color whose experiences and histories challenge colonial narratives and redefine cultural identities. Through the lens of punk as a megaphone for teenage rebellion and empowerment, Montaño interweaves compelling personal stories with an exploration of influential bands like The Brat and Los Ilegales, while illuminating the unique aesthetic of rasquachismo within DIY punk culture. The fanzine includes a list of "badass xicanas" of the past and present and a playlist honoring these revolutionary women. Montaño also published Louder than bombas: On raza, Morrissey, and The Smiths, also included in the RAPMM collection.
