Hi,

I'm interested in seeing Mao era propaganda that would have been shown to children -- an essay I am reading on the Chinese artist Yue Minjun references "Chinese children of his era were given picture books that followed the stories and adventures of brave young pioneers, whose good deeds and patriotic nature were promoted as examples upon which all good children should model themselves."

Does anyone know where I might find examples of such childrens books; this is urgent, so ideally somewhere online that I could look at imagery. I tried some online research but didn't come up with anything myself; I thought someone with more knowledge of the subject might have more luck.

Thank you!

Kate

Since November 2006, I have been documenting, through the wiki at p2pfoundation.net, the emergence of open/free, participatory/p2p, and commons oriented social movements in all areas of social life. We (but mostly myself) have created 5,491 pages of documentation which have been viewed 1,732,364 times. I have often thought that only librarians might be really motivated by collaborating in such a project to build a free knowledge base, and my question is: how would I find the forums where I could appeal for such assistance.

The focus of our project is identifying the effects of globalization at the community level. We are trying to identify data and information resources that demonstrates trends in the internationalization (i.e. migration - including migrant sending and receiving countries/communities - and international trade patterns) and then tying those to a generation (last 15-20 years) of primarily neoliberal foreign and economic policy choices. The goal is identify 12 communities for further study on local impacts and the ways communities respond to the positive and negative aspects of these trends.

I am working on an article that attempts to think Colonialism and Imperialism as iterations of the ontological constitution of human vs. non-human. I would like help tracking down writers who deal with the correlation between the circumscription of the colonized peoples/lands and the circumscription of non-human life. Feel free to get in touch with more questions. And thanks for the work you all do. It is so important!

I am looking for any sources (preferably written, and preferably scholarly) on undocumented youth and activism. More broadly, stuff on undocumented youth in general from the last 10 years or so would be helpful. I am looking for books, journal articles, dissertations, etc - anything with "scholarly merit".

thanks, radical reference people!

Dear Sir, Can you direct me to scholarly(or leftwing, preferably both) studies of subject of Secrecy in all it's dimensions ? Not just limited to Government Secrecy.
I would love to get a list of web resources dealing with secrecy.
I would like to read about how Secrecy affects everything in a negative or positive way. The mention of any books, scholars working on the subject, the magazines or journals covering Secrecy would be helpful. I have heard a certain person named Mark Gerstein is writing a book on Secrecy and Daniel Ellsberg has written a forward and an afterword for it. I tried to find some information about the book. But Couldn't get it. I would be happy if you directed me to similar stuff dealing with Secrecy.
