Brainwashing

A Woman Soldier's Own Story
by Xie Bingying
For the first time, a complete version of the autobiography of Xie Bingying (1906-2000) provides a fascinating portrayal of a woman fighting to free herself from the constraints of ancient Chinese tradition amid the dramatic changes that shook China during the 1920s, ‘30s, and ´40s. Xie´s attempts to become educated, her struggles to escape from an arranged marriage, and her success in tricking her way into military school reveal her persevering and unconventional character and hint at the prominence she was later to attain as an important figure in China´s political culture. Though she was tortured and imprisoned, she remained committed to her convictions. Her personal struggle to define herself within the larger context of political change in China early in the last century is a poignant testament of determination and a striking story of one woman's journey from Old China into the new world.

The Times of Our Lives
by Marica Tucker
The fastest growing age group in America is those over 65, and accordingly, there has been a recent upsurge in interest into how aging is perceived and represented. The Time of Our Lives considers the depiction of aging within visual media. How do stereo-types in the conceptualization of age, particularly the invisibility and infantilization of the elderly, affect us? The book also explores how medical research and new technologies are changing our ideas about aging, longevity, and reproduction, and the cultural quest for "the fountain of youth, " as evidenced through increasingly prevalent "anti-aging" products and cosmetic surgery.
