Two American radical pamphlets on women in post-revolutionary China, issued during the 1970s by the International Socialists and the October League (Marxist-Leninist), document sharply different Marxist assessments of Chinese Communist claims for women's emancipation. The International Socialists pamphlet argues that gains in women's employment and public participation remained subordinate to industrial production, state-building, and the political priorities of the Chinese Communist Party. The October League pamphlet presents women's liberation from a Marxist-Leninist perspective sympathetic to revolutionary China, illustrating women participating in labor and International Women's Day demonstrations. The pair records competing positions within the American revolutionary left over China, women's labor, socialism, and the meaning of emancipation during the decade following the Cultural Revolution. Two illustrated and textual pamphlets published in Highland Park and Chicago during the 1970s, comprising 65 pages. The Liberation of Women in China, issued by the International Socialists, contains 49 pages with tables and footnotes and develops a sustained critique of women's status under Chinese Communism. The October League publication comprises 16 pages and is illustrated with black-and-white photographs showing women at work and participants in Women's Day marches. Both organizations used developments in China to address American readers engaged with Marxism, revolutionary politics, and women's liberation, but reached markedly different conclusions about the relationship between socialist revolution and gender equality. [1] International Socialists. The Liberation of Women in China. Highland Park: International Socialists, n.d. [circa 1970s]. 49 pages. Original printed wrappers, 5.5 × 8.5 inches; tables and footnotes. The pamphlet disputes Chinese Communist claims of achieved women's emancipation, arguing that women's advancement remained conditioned by the state's requirements for industrialization and production. Its statistical tables and cited sources place questions of employment, domestic labor, and political equality within a broader socialist critique of the Chinese state. [2] October League (Marxist-Leninist). Women's Liberation: A Communist View. Chicago: October League, [1976]. 16 pages, 5.5 × 8.5 inches, illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Images show women performing workplace tasks and participants in Women's Day marches, linking the organization's discussion of women's liberation to labor, anti-imperialism, and revolutionary politics. Published in the year of Mao Zedong's death, the pamphlet records the October League's engagement with China while American Marxist organizations were debating the political legacy of the Cultural Revolution and the direction of Chinese Communism. Mild wear to wrappers; overall good condition. The two publications preserve opposing arguments circulated by American Marxist organizations over whether revolutionary China had achieved women's emancipation or subordinated it to economic and state priorities.…

A rare example of one of the sales catalogues issued by the China Esperanto League for overseas Esperantists wishing to order Mao's works. For catalogues issued in the 1960s and 1970s, WorldCat records a total of only nine copies. Shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the All-China Esperanto Association (later renamed the "China Esperanto League") was formed in Shanghai, and in the 1950s the League hosted speakers from around the world. While foreign contacts ceased during the Cultural Revolution, the League used its network to promote Maoism to Esperanto movements abroad. The present catalogue offers for sale, at very cheap prices, volumes of Mao's Selected Works as well as pamphlets of his speeches and major essays. At the rear, an order form is provided for customers to complete and return to Beijing by post. Though not marked as such, the present copy is from the library of Paul Pickowicz (b. 1945), a notable scholar of modern Chinese culture and society. In 1971, Pickowicz was one of 15 American scholars invited to visit the mainland, the delegation being the first group of American academics to set foot in Mao's China. Duodecimo, pp. 18. Stapled as issued, original pale orange wrappers, front cover lettered in black and red above red five-pointed star. A few marks to wrappers, touch of foxing, contents else clean and bright. A near-fine copy of this fragile publication. …

First edition, sole printing, with an appealing Sinological provenance, of this scarce Esperanto translation of the New Year's editorial issued by state media in 1971, with WorldCat recording only two institutional copies. Dramatic political changes in China caused by the fight of Mao's heir apparent left this revolutionary call to arms dangerously outdated by the end of the year. During the Cultural Revolution, newspaper editorials to mark the Chinese New Year were important opportunities for party propagandists to outline the triumphs of the preceding year and set the political tone of the coming months. The 1971 editorial, co-written by editors from the country's three largest political publications (The People's Daily, Red Flag, and Liberation Army Daily), heaped praise on Mao's leadership but also highlighted the contribution of Lin Biao, Mao's designated successor, to the country's many political "victories." Yet, at the time these words were written, a considerable rift was developing between Mao and Lin. Eight months later, Lin would die in a plane crash while fleeing China out of concern for his safety. State media later claimed that Lin's son was plotting to assassinate Mao. Almost certainly, remaining copies of the editorial in Esperanto or any other language were quickly withdrawn and pulped. Though not marked as such, the present copy is from the library of Paul Pickowicz (b. 1945), a notable scholar of modern Chinese culture and society. In 1971, Pickowicz was one of 15 American scholars invited to visit the mainland, the delegation being the first group of American academics to set foot in Mao's China. Duodecimo, pp. 26. Stapled as issued, original white wrappers, black title and red band to front cover. Touch of foxing to wrappers, internally clean. A near-fine copy of this fragile publication.…
