The General Strike
Description:
This appears to be the reissue of a pamphlet, written in 1933 by Ralph Chaplin, that describes the tenets surrounding "The General Strike" and other labor issues. The International Workers of the World produced the pamphlet in 1933 as well as this edition. "The I.W.W. believes that the building of the new society, especially during the period of crisis, is at least a important as the abolition of the old. This is not merely a dogma; it is sound tactics." The pamphlet is incomplete and ends mid-sentence on page 46.
A Gentrification Reader
Vol/Iss/Date:
Special Updated 2nd Edition
Description:
This pre-Hurricane Katrina zine (first edition, 1997; second edition indeterminate date) draws attention to the problems of "gentrification" of certain neighborhoods in New Orleans, together with national events and concerns related to "class warfare." The author posits that "gentrification" of these neighborhoods uproots the working poor, the homeless, artists and small businesses in favor of upscale shops, restaurants, tourist attractions, and expensive housing which benefit the wealthy. Neighbhorhoods that have been gentrified in New Orleans, New York, London and others are discussed. The zine includes historical background information and photographs about several old Portland, Oregon buildings and neighborhoods (Albina, Vanport, Old Town, King, Boise, Elliot, Portland Emanuel), which at this writing (2009) probably no longer exist.
