Black Flag 227 (2008)

The second of the new issues of Black Flag, which came out as the credit crunch started to hit hard in mid-2008. The collective, while remaining small, fit in much more contemporary and international work for 227. Below is the full contents listings for the magazine, which is attached as a PDF file.

Just a note that I did a bit of sub editing on these two black flag issues. Whole issues of magazines, we should just basically tag them with the name of the publication, and if they are just on one issue then with the relevant tag. But if they cover lots of topics with lots of different authors, then we shouldn't add all of the topic and author tags.
