DESCRIPTION:Dongping Han grew up in a village in rural China during the Cultural 
 Revolution (1966-1976).  In his talk, he paints an inspiring picture of a 
 time when ordinary people, motivated by an ethos of "serve the people," 
 worked together, looked out for each other, and were empowered to transform 
 society -- all in sharp contrast to the selfishness, atomization, and 
 powerlessness of capitalism.\n\nThis will be the first time that most in 
 the Book TV audience (of many thousands) will have the opportunity to hear 
 such a first-hand account of what this "revolution within a revolution" in 
 socialist China was really about, in contrast to the dominant narrative 
 demonizing the Cultural Revolution.  We encourage everyone to forward or 
 post this announcement far and wide.\n\nThis book event was part of the 
 Symposium, "Rediscovering China's Cultural Revolution-Art and Politics, 
 Lived Experience, Legacies of Liberation," which took place November 6-8 at 
 University of California Berkeley.  A complete video of the entire 
 Symposium and listing of all the other panelists will be posted this 
 weekend at www.revolutionbooks.org.\n
