Who is "we"? For those of us who don't stay on top of Serbian underground publications and Z magazine, as well as Italian, Brazilian, Greek, Spanish, French, German, Swiss, and US local newspapers, this is a useful collection.
There are references throughout the text and an appendix of recommended reading.
