Long live the glorious May Seventh Directive

Abstract

"Long Live the Glorious May 7 Directive, published in 1971, is one of the key propaganda photobooks of Chairman Mao Zedong's infamous Cultural Revolution. Illustrated with both color and black-and-white photographs taken by uncredited photographers, the book extolls the virtues of Mao's communist ideology and purports to document the joyful, industrious effects of these ideas in action." -- from publisher.
