Talk:Essay: Worst Liberal Books (view source)
Revision as of 03:33, September 23, 2011
, 03:33, September 23, 2011Notes on the author of ''The Good Earth'', Pearl S. Buck
== ''The Good Earth'' ==
== ''The Good Earth'' ==
Although classifying the book as liberal may be questionable to some, I listed it for similar reasoning to that of ''The Dispossessed''. Having studied the book several times and researched 20th century China for several reports, the book has clear ties to early Communist movements in China, as well as other portions of Asia. This merits inclusion on the list, in my eyes. Does anyone have any objections? [[User:KevinDavis|Kevin Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:KevinDavis|Talk]]</sup> 23:29, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

:My apologies on the omission; I forgot to mention that the author of ''The Good Earth'', Pearl S. Buck, had strong political, multicultural leanings. She spent most of her early life in China, without having any significant and/or stated reasoning for doing so, which should immediately draw suspicion. Many businessmen lived in China around that time or in the years prior, but without a valid reason, her political leanings are certainly open to further inspection. This should label her work as initially suspect until further review. [[User:KevinDavis|Kevin Davis]] <sup>[[User talk:KevinDavis|Talk]]</sup> 23:33, 22 September 2011 (EDT)
