Abstract
Yellow Seeds was a bilingual Chinese-English community newspaper published intermittently from 1972–77 by a radical student group of the same name based in Philadelphia’s Chinatown. Several extant copies are held in the collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, by the Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation, and by former members. Additionally, digitized issues from 1972–75 are available online.1 The newspaper, like the larger Asian American movement of which it was a part, provides a lens into not only the specifi c politics of “Save Chinatown” activism in Philadelphia in the 1970s but also the multivalent nature of Asian American identity and activism during this period, the transnational and pan-Asian consciousness of activists, and the generational concerns of young people of color working in culturally conscious ways against US racism and imperialism.
