Berkeley: [Educational Liberation Front, Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars, et al], ca. 1970. Silkscreen. 17 7/8 x 29 7/8 in. Very good; black and red ink smudges from printing, some very minor creasing. Item #7671

The Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars, a coalition of scholars founded in 1968 across the United States, and the Educational Liberation Front, founded in Berkeley in 1971, arose out of the anti-Vietnam War movements then rocking American campuses. The scope of the CCAS’ activities quickly expanded, emphasizing a broader analysis of the United States’ imperialistic relationship with Asia, as well as academia’s complicity in that dynamic. As described in their 1969 statement of purpose, “The [CCAS] seeks to develop a humane and knowledgeable understanding of Asian societies and their efforts to maintain cultural integrity and to confront such problems as poverty, oppression, and imperialism. … CCAS wishes to create alternatives to the prevailing trends in scholarship on Asia, which too often spring from a parochial cultural perspective and serve selfish interests and expansionism.”

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this item will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
