We do not want attachments. We want text.

This book is intended as a follow-up to Celeste West and Elizabeth Katz's Revolting Librarians (San Francisco: Booklegger Press, 1972). We want library workers to write insightful critiques of any aspect of librarianship. A special section on the 1972 book's impact is also planned. In the spirit of the original book, all contributions should be as readable and interesting as possible.

Possible ideas include:

• contributors to the first book - where are they now?
• reactions to Revolting Librarians
• original artwork
• original cartoons
• original poetry or fiction
• alternative libraries
• librarianship & whiteness
• librarianship & heteronormativity
• why is librarianship so apolitical?
• horror stories and lessons learned
• cataloging issues
• reference work issues
• intellectual freedom
• additional resources for radical librarians
