Overview

The latest issue of Urban Pamphleteer charts the presence and power of independent, community-oriented, radical publishing in East London, and its catalytic role within urban change.

The contributions highlight contemporary and historical grassroots presses and practices in the region. They draw incoming East Bank organisations and their audiences’ attention to long-embedded cultures and facilities. In a funding landscape that highlights economic uplift through emphasising new technologies, this issue offers a long-survey and recent snapshot of existing, often analogue, practices.
