Pound the Pavement #34: Barricade: Comrades Fighting to Stop Cop Cities Everywhere
Josh MacPhee
This book documents the student occupations in support of Palestine in the Spring of 2024—through the lens of the barricades constructed at the encampments. 54 photographs of barricades from 10 different campuses are culled from social media, the press, and the phones of occupiers themselves, and these images run alongside a collection of texts about barricades and occupations pulled from text threads, interviews with occupiers, and historical writings about barricades. Together, image and text narrate the struggle via the space between affect and effect.

Pound the Pavement is an ongoing zine and publishing project organized by Justseeds member Josh MacPhee. Originally launched in 2000 to release a series of zines collecting photographs of street stencils (which would eventually evolve into the 2004 book Stencil Pirates), MacPhee has continued using the name to publish over twenty zines and publications. Although there is no single subject matter that connects all of the publications, overall they are a place for MacPhee to work out his twin obsessions of collecting and organizing. Most issues are limited in print run and tend to sold out, but a number are still available here at Justseeds, and as new issues are released, they will be featured here.
