Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,

 

The national elections and the burgeoning social movements in America are upon us. The participant-observers of the United States are in for “interesting” times ahead (to paraphrase the purported ancient Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times!”).

 

Sincerely,

Francis Feeley
