19600001561Liao Village Yong Qing County HeBei Province PEO. Good. 1960. On offer is an extraordinary original historically significant 139 page manuscript archive of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution handwritten by a man named Liao Zi Yu of Liao Village Yong Qing County HeBei Province was born in 1912 worked as a proof-reader at the printing works the HeBei Agriculture University from 1951 to 1973. The Liao family owned 1400 Mu of the land before 1937 and it also owned a shop selling fabrics. Liao ZiYu inherited properties including land of 710 Mu brick house with 30 rooms mud house with 3 rooms 6 large animals and 2 man-powered vehicles. He started to manage the family affairs in 1934 together with his brother who was killed by the Japanese in 1938. He then worked alone till 1946 when the Land Reform reached the area. At the onset of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution landlords and capitalists in the urban and rural centres were identified and accused of exploiting and oppressing the working class. Overthrowing the exploiting and oppressing class was a primary concern of Chairman Mao and the Communist Party of China. Mao pushed the Chinese into a civil war in order to overthrow the Republic of China which succeeded and the result People's Republic of China in 1949. Mao then began to liquidate and suppress those persons who belonged to the exploiting class. This was known as the 'Movement of Suppressing Counter-Revolutionaries' in early 1950's in China. In this archive we follow Liao Zi Yu's attempt to avoid being suppressed as a member of the exploiting class and a counter-revolutionary by moving and concealing his real identity. He lived hidden and got work as a common labourer for more than ten years from 1949. But early on in the Cultural Revolution his real identity was disclosed as was his former life as a landlord. From that time on his was a doomed life: investigated jailed and forced to confess his crime this file recorded the complete process. RESEARCH NOTES: He was accused of 1 Exploitation of the workers: He employed 7 long term workers 6 monthly ones 4 to 5 short term ones and 4 others for the house duties. He owned 5 pieces of gun. He exploited the workers brutally. 2 Exploitation of the land rental: He rented out over half of his land holdings with rent up to 4 Yuan per Mu. The rent must be paid before October for next year's rental. He forced the peasants to pay the rent using the power of his uncle who was the town's Reeve. 3 Serving the enemy: He was the town secretary of AnCi County for a month by making anticommunist slogans such as "Welcome the Nationalist Army". 4 Escaping the supervised labour: He got a job at the HeBei Agriculture University by falsifying his résumé and hiding the fact that he was a land owner. He was put into the supervised reform by the revolutionary mass in 1966 soon after the exposure of him as a landowner. He was moved by the policies of the communist party and was able to admit his crime and made confession. He was not classified as the landowner but would be expelled from the University and be sent back to his home village to work as a farmer. The decision was reached by the committees of the communist party at the levels of the printing works the University and the District of BaoDing in a period from 1970 to 1973.

Lauded for its influential approach to documentary photography Lyon didn't just observe; he embedded himself with the Chicago Outlaws club for four years participating in rides and gatherings to photograph them from within. A pioneering photobook that combines candid photography and forthright quotes from the bikers themselves. The monograph helped to shape the outlaw biker image in American pop culture and almost certainly inspired a young Dennis Hopper in directing the road drama film Easy Rider that was released a year after publication; signed copies are uncommon.

1915001517New York: The Masses Publishing Company 1915. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Very Good. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. Frank Walts John Sloan Art Young Glenn O. Coleman Stuart Davis Cornelia Barns Randall Davey George Bellows Maurice Becker A. Londoner Elias Goldberg Eugene Higgins . New York: The Masses Publishing Company 1915. The June 1915 issue Volume VI Number 9 whole number 49. Large Folio illustrated stapled wraps 27 pp. Very Good by any periodical standard; as the very inexpensively-produced budget-of-the-heart icon The Masses was this example is certainly better than very good by its own standard. Light crease the vertical length of cover; small nicks at front cover perimeter; larger chip at rear cover lower left; modest toning to the remarkably healthy contents. See scans. Certainly one of the most seminal socio-political American publications of the last 200 years The Masses was a collection of ideological art opinion and reporting - usually contributed with little or no compensation - which strongly represented socialist / marxist values but in a larger sense was representative of labor women's rights and radical left issues in general as those were at that time. Famous names of the era often contributed work but the names of the regulars are themselves all now in history books. The now-timeless publication was shut down by the U.S. Government in 1918 on the basis of postal regulations after two intense and ideologically-charged trials. Eastman and his sister Crystal then started The Liberator to carry on; after The Liberator closed its doors in 1926 The New Masses under the primary leadership of Mike Gold carried the radical flag. The Masses as the first is also the rarest. Text contributors to this issue of June 1915 included Eastman Carl Sandburg Howard Brubaker Harris Merton Lyon Louis Untermeyer Edmond McKenna Elsie Clews Parsons Frank Tanenbaum Robert Carlton Brown W.J. Robinson Charles Grey and Florence Kiper Frank. Art was contributed by Frank Walts John Sloan Art Young Glenn O. Coleman Stuart Davis Cornelia Barns Randall Davey George Bellows Maurice Becker A. Londoner Elias Goldberg and Eugene Higgins with Walts executing the front cover and Davis the rear cover. Check out all of those names. An extraordinarily rare piece of American publishing and political history. l-lng2 <br/> <br/> The Masses Publishing Company paperback

1989WRCLIT44046Np 1989. Original 16 x 20" black & white photograph image size 12 x 18" landscape orientation. One corner faintly bumped otherwise fine. A vintage print of this superb photographic portrait of Burroughs taken at his shooting range. Burroughs wearing a hat and combat jacket with automatic pistol in hand is standing in front of an array of bullet- riddled targets framed by the larger rough timber and log backstop facing the camera directly with a broad closed-lipped grin. Inscribed by the photographer on the verso: "For Walter Reuben - Merry Xmas From Nelson Lyon '89." Lyon screenwriter producer and former SNL writer was associated with Burroughs on a number of projects including the recording DEAD CITY RADIO and the audio- book version of NAKED LUNCH. According to the recipient of this print Lyon made about six exhibition quality prints of this photograph in 1989 like the one in hand all for presentation; subsequently the photograph has been reproduced in books about Burroughs and was used as the Burroughs obit photo by the SF CHRONICLE. Later printings of the photograph have been exhibited and sold through galleries. Burroughs contributed an introductory note to the 1979 catalogue of Reuben's Kerouac Collection. unknown books
