Mouth #63, As Others See Us, Revisited.

 

Cover of Mouth, January 2001.This time we can see ourselves as others have seen us through history.

A 26-page pictorial centerpiece takes us through five milennia of our own largely unknown history. The enlightening text is translated by our editor from more than forty academic sources.

This historic Mouth #63 also includes: The national ballot on self determination, Dave Hingsburger's "Stare Way to Hell," and Dee Lesnecki SAYS.

Dee is the rural Pennsylvania mom who tied herself to the flagpole at her son Max's school for 20 days and nights when the school refused to obey a federal court order for Max to be educated. Her community rose up against her, even tried to kill her, but she won.


Note:

Our website will include the contents of only about three pages of a 26-page pictorial history of freaks, monsters, and people with disabilities. Beginning in 2800 B.C., ending in 2001 A.D., the history of five milennia are covered -- in a brisk 5,000 words or less -- in the current Mouth. For the rest, we hope you will subscribe. Or purchase the single issue. Here's the link to do either or both. Meanwhile, here are brief excerpts.
