I search in databases like Academic Search Premier (available free to NYPL library card holders) and ProQuest, but ultimately had more luck with Google Books and Google Scholar.

This quote from a book published by a respected publisher seemed pretty dead on. "During the Rios Montt presidency, the Guatemalan State (and particularly its army) committed more than 15,000 murders, was involved in over 1,000 forced disappearances, and ordered 15 executions by firing squads--the product of summary trials. As a result of such massive and open terror, which took place over a 17-month period, more than one million people were displaced in Guatemala; 90,000 of them sought refuge in neighboring countries."

Radical Reference NYC Grassroots Media Conference Presentation 2007

Introduction

"…librarians are more freedom fighters than shushers."

I think what you are looking for is the IWW Wildcat. From what I can tell, the CNT's symbol is not a cat, but a red and black flag. (See the InfoShop Anarchist FAQ.) The same FAQ mentions a "wildcat" inspired by the IWW. (The IWW is the Industrial Workers of the World, a labor union that seeks to dismantle capitalism. I can't quite tell if they're anarchist - the website says: "The IWW is a revolutionary industrial unionist organization, and its membership includes radicals of every stripe, including anarchist, communist, socialist, syndicalist, etc.")

I don't have a Missouri specific answer regarding appeals, but here are several starting points for gathering information for your paper.

The Death Penalty Information Center has a great many resources to aid in research, including state-by-state information: see this site

Jim Voelker, Deputy Circuit Librarian, St. Louis, has posted a Death Penalty Research Guide at this site.

Notes from the discussion now up and also from the Rad Ref business meeting.
