Choose Albanian works to get scanned in December

[Ismail]

On December 5 Professor Grover Furr will start scanning books published in Albania (and translated into English, of course) at the request of myself and others. I've decided to "democratize" this process, allowing users in various communities to decide what works shall be scanned and put online.

Scan them all!!!:grin:

We can never have too much knowledge!!!!;)

[Ismail]

Scan them all!!!:grin:

We can never have too much knowledge!!!!;)Scanning books, even pamphlets, takes time and is not an exciting task, hence the need to prioritize. I myself plan to scan a 630-page Soviet biography of Marx from 1989 and upload it to that page, and it will probably take more than two hours to scan.

Ok, sorry for begin so selfish.

Well, they all look good (to me at least), let's see what everyone else say...:)

Oh goodness ismail, all of this marxism is making me wet! :o

But if I must choose, then I think
* The Social Class Structure of the Working Class in Albania (1978)
and
* On Some Aspects of the Problem of the Albanian Woman (speeches by Hoxha and Alia, 1967)
And everything else about woman if possible

[Ismail]

There are five works on the list that deal with women in Albania, you'll need to list a specific title. :D

[Yet_Another_Boring_Marxist]

The Family and its Structure in the PSR of Albania (1990) looks interesting, though since it is from such a late date is it a revisionist text?

[Ismail]

The Family and its Structure in the PSR of Albania (1990) looks interesting, though since it is from such a late date is it a revisionist text?It's probably fine. Even when Stalin's statue was removed from the capital in December 1990 Alia passed it off as "we uphold Stalin, but we feel it is inappropriate to have the statue of a non-Albanian in this area."

According to Amazon, this is the table of contents:

1. The Social-Class Structure of the Family
2. The Structure of Marriage and the Family
3. The Physical-Demographic Structure of the Family
4. The Functions of the Family

The work describes itself as such: "This publication deals with current problems of the structure of the family and the trends of its changes. The qualitative and quantitative aspects of the family relations and the social class structure are analysed from a dialectical viewpoint in the phase of the complete construction of socialism in Albania. The book has mainly a sociological character and is based on national-wide figures taking into account the differences between town and country-side." It is 132 pages.

Since it's $49 for a used copy and there's only one copy available to buy, I put it as a choice to be scanned along with the rest.

Sounds good, yea I was just worried about absurd butchering of Marxism, I can handle one or two references to the "socialist" nature of the DDR

[Ismail]

I can handle one or two references to the "socialist" nature of the DDRFor those who don't get the reference:

"In June 1989 East German Foreign Minister Oskar Fischer became the first senior Soviet bloc official to visit Tiranë since the early 1960s. In an unusual gesture reflecting the importance the Albanians attached to cooperation with East Germany, Alia personally received Fischer. The East German news agency quoted Alia as having said that both countries were building 'socialism' and that they held 'identical' views on 'important fundamental questions of our time.' After the break with China, Albanian leaders had maintained that Albania was the world's only 'socialist' state. Alia acknowledged that East Germany, formerly treated as a 'revisionist' state by the Albanian media, was also a 'socialist' state, representing an important departure from Tiranë's previous ideological pronouncement."
(Biberaj, Elez. Albania: A Socialist Maverick. Boulder, CO: Westview Press. 1990. p. 103.)

Also:

"Tirana had shared Castro's hostility to reform and to developments in East Europe and the Soviet Union. In January 1990 the [Albanian] party's official organ stated bluntly, 'The prescriptions of the capitalist road, of perestroika and bourgeois reform are unacceptable to our people and party.' Repression against possible challenges increased. In December 1989, the government news agency quoted Castro extensively on his insistence that 'Cuba will not abandon its revolutionary principles' and on his characterization of the 'grave wound of capitalism' that the East European states were bringing on themselves.

In November [1989] Isidoro Malmierca made the first visit of a Cuban foreign minister to Albania, met with Prime Minister Adil Carcani and with Ramiz Alia. The latter insisted at this time that the Albanian people had 'bound their life to socialism,' and agreements on economic, industrial, technical and cultural cooperation were signed. Over the course of the next year, no fewer than five other delegations from Albania visited Cuba, including a return visit by the foreign minister who during his stay held a 'warm and friendly talk' with Castro."
(Mesa-Lago, Carmelo (ed). Cuba After the Cold War. Pittsburgh, PA: University of Pittsburgh Press. 1994. pp. 49-50.)

The Albanians did continue to denounce revisionism into 1990 and ascribed the fall of the various Eastern European regimes to it, but obviously the rhetoric became incomprehensible once Albania began making its own diplomatic and economic about-faces.

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

What year is Oppose Modern Revisionism and Uphold Marxism-Leninism and the Unity of the International Communist Movement from?Any thoughts on it?

[Ismail]

What year is Oppose Modern Revisionism and Uphold Marxism-Leninism and the Unity of the International Communist Movement from?Any thoughts on it?1964, 420 pages according to Google Books.

Considering there's no preview I have no idea what its contents are like, but I'm willing to bet it's a large collection of Zëri i Popullit articles on how Soviet revisionism sucks.

[Hrafn]

* Questions of the Albanian Folklore (1963)
* Electrification in the People's Republic of Albania (1968)
* Albania's Foreign Policy: Speech to the United Nations General Assembly (1979)

[Kingfish]

Both The Correct Line of the Party, the Source of Our Victories (1985) and especially Questions of the Albanian Folklore (1963) sound particularly interesting.

[ВАЛТЕР]

I'm interested in these three below. However, if only one of them is possible then I would hope for "Ideological Aggression and the Struggle Against it"


* Ideological Aggression and the Struggle Against It

* 40 Years of Socialist Albania: Statistical Data on the Development of the Economy and Culture (1984)

* The Soviet Revisionist Clique Moves at a Quick Pace Toward the Re-Establishment of Capitalism (1967)

[Ismail]

Furr will be scanning multiple works, perhaps up to 4. I doubt he'd be in a position to scan more than that for a while.

[Stalinist Speaker]

these ones looks good.

With Stalin (by Hoxha, 1984)

Enver Hoxha and His Work Will Live for Ever (1985)

Where is Czechoslovakia Heading For? (1968)

[erupt]

The Belgrade Revisionist Clique: Renegades from Marxism-Leninism and Agents of Imperialism

Answers to Questions about Albania (1969)

The Construction of the Economic Base of Socialism and Its Perfection in the PSR of Albania (1982)
---
It is my opinion that works from different eras/decades being published would be beneficial.

[Roach]

Anything on the anti-fascist and national liberation war?

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

The Autobiography of The People in Verse would be cool to have

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

The Well-Being of the Albanian People and Some Factors and Ways for Its Continuous Improvement (1984), Questions of the Albanian Folklore (1963), Where is Czechoslovakia Heading For? (1968), About the Events in Kosova (1981), What the Kosovars Say and Demand: Collection of Studies, Articles, Interviews and Commentaries (three volumes, 1990-1991). All have my vote.

[A.J.]

* State Social Insurance in the People's Republic of Albania (1963)

* Health Service in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania (1984)

* The Well-Being of the Albanian People and Some Factors and Ways for Its Continuous Improvement (1984)


Also, as an area of particular interest, whatever other works that deal with the provision of social services would be much appreciated.

What TWAIN software are you using? I've had a look at VueScan and SilverFast but they seem orientated to photo scanning not batch document scanning. I'm doing some scanning and need decent TWAIN software.

[Sea]

My nominations would be:

* Statistical Yearbook of P.S.R. of Albania (1990)
* 40 Years of Socialist Albania: Statistical Data on the Development of the Economy and Culture (1984)
* The Soviet Revisionist Clique Moves at a Quick Pace Toward the Re-Establishment of Capitalism (1967)
and
* The Social Class Structure of the Working Class in Albania (1978)


these ones looks good.

With Stalin (by Hoxha, 1984)With Stalin is already available on MIA:

http://marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/stalin/intro.htm

[Ismail]

With Stalin is already available on MIA:True, but the quality of the text on MIA is rather poor, it's in HTML, and also the one on the list is the third edition which I assume includes random editorial footnotes and the like.


Anything on the anti-fascist and national liberation war?One of the guys involved in scanning Albanian works actually has a work on the subject which he'll be putting up online eventually: The National Conference of Studies on the Anti-fascist National Liberation War of the Albanian People (I have this too, it's slightly interesting.)

The History of the PLA which was put online recently has whole chapters dedicated to the war: http://www.revleft.com/vb/history-party-labour-t184617/index.html?p=2683135


What TWAIN software are you using? I've had a look at VueScan and SilverFast but they seem orientated to photo scanning not batch document scanning. I'm doing some scanning and need decent TWAIN software.Not quite sure how to find out that information. All I know is that I use a printer with a scanner on top and use this to turn the scanned images into PDFs: http://en.pdf24.org/

I would ordinarily use ABBYY FineReader to scan and turn things into PDFs, but the scanner I use nowadays, although producing better quality scans, doesn't recognize it.

[reb]

lol get The Construction of the Economic Base of Socialism and Its Perfection in the PSR of Albania (1982), that sounds like it would be a good laugh

[Ismail]

Full work is 185 pages.

Oh yeah, I used ABBYY FineReader to OCR Forum Journal and other texts and didn't feel like trying anything else. But what about scanning page by page?

[Ismail]

Oh yeah, I used ABBYY FineReader to OCR Forum Journal and other texts and didn't feel like trying anything else. But what about scanning page by page?I just open up the scanner, place the two pages of the book on it, and scan. I don't quite get your question...

[LiamChe]

*The Belgrade Revisionist Clique: Renegades from Marxism-Leninism and Agents of Imperialism

*Oppose Modern Revisionism and Uphold Marxism-Leninism and the Unity of the International Communist Movement

*Problems of the Current World Development (1979)

*The Soviet Revisionist Clique Moves at a Quick Pace Toward the Re-Establishment of Capitalism

*On the Experience of the National-Liberation War and on the Development of the National Army

It was hard to choose, but this was as narrow as a list I could make.

[La Guaneña]

* State Social Insurance in the People's Republic of Albania (1963)

* Health Service in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania (1984)

* The Well-Being of the Albanian People and Some Factors and Ways for Its Continuous Improvement (1984)


Also, as an area of particular interest, whatever other works that deal with the provision of social services would be much appreciated.

I second these requests on Public Health and Social Assistance, and also second these works:

* The Family in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania (1984)

* The Family and its Structure in the PSR of Albania (1990)

* On Some Aspects of the Problem of the Albanian Woman (speeches by Hoxha and Alia, 1967)

And also a first request for this one, as I guess it might be of related interest to the first work:

* The Earthquake of April 15, 1979 and the Elimination of Its Consequences



I know this is a shitload, and I'm sorry for it. Don't feel in a hurry or anything, and thank you very much for doing this.

[Ismail]

Remember, I'm only counting the first three choices. Those are the ones that will enter into the vote tally. If you "second these requests on Public Health and Social Assistance" and then also vote for The Family in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania then those are the three votes I'll be counting.

[Zealot]

40 Years of Socialist Albania: Statistical Data on the Development of the Economy and Culture (1984)

Socio-Political Studies

[Alexios]

Albania didn't even exist until WW2.

[Yet_Another_Boring_Marxist]

Albania didn't even exist until WW2.

Actually Albania existed as a quasi independent state before the Italian occupation

[Alexios]

[SPOIL]

You do realize that Albania had been independent before the Italian occupation of Albania, right?

For what, 20 years? Before that it was controlled by the Turks and before that the Byzantines and Bulgarians. Real rich historical content.

[Ismail]

Albania didn't even exist until WW2.As a state Albania has only existed since 1912, as a nation and as a people the Albanians have obviously existed for centuries. Their history is full of feudal and bourgeois figures and struggles. Marx himself wrote briefly but positively about Skanderbeg, the Albanian national hero.

I don't know why you made this post. I do have a 300-page history of Albania written in 1964 which I'll scan soon enough.

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

Can you scan like some Albanian People mags you know? That'd be way cool and I would eternally grateful.

[Volcanicity]

If it's as good as it sounds then "Shameful Failure of the Political and Economic System Of Titoite Yugoslavia" as well as

"The Family in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania"

"The Further Improvement of the Economic and Financial Legislation in the PSR of Albania"

[The Idler]

I just open up the scanner, place the two pages of the book on it, and scan. I don't quite get your question...
You must use TWAIN software to interface with your scanner. What TWAIN software are you using?

[Ismail]

Kind of off topic but I think I've used scandall for batch scanning in the past and I know it has twain support. Its produced by Fujitsu so it may only work with their drivers though

40 Years of Socialist Albania: Statistical Data on the Development of the Economy and Culture (1984) would be very interesting, methinks.

[Sea]

Albanian works could be quite flashy.The Superpowers had a nice punk-y cover, complete with a pic of Buddy Holly (obviously) pointing at something on the ceiling.

[Ismail]

The Superpowers had a nice punk-y cover, complete with a pic of Buddy Holly (obviously) pointing at something on the ceiling.I do have that book, although it's online in HTML format so scanning it is a low priority.

I also actually know the context of the photo: it's Hoxha speaking at the 4th Congress of the PLA in February 1961.

Hoxha wrote a lot. Some of his memoirs were never translated into English, notably one on the events leading up to the founding of the Communist Party of Albania in 1941, which you can see on the uppermost left of this image (titled Kur lindi Partia and showing the house where the Party's establishment was proclaimed.)

Agriculture in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania gets my vote, along with anything relating to military tactics, the nat-lib war, agriculture or political tactics.
