Speaking of goons and clowns...
... i.e., the FBI and so forth, I received an email from the Latin American Studies Association lamenting the fact that Cuban scholars will once again be barred from attending our congress, to be held this time in San Juan, PR, next week. The US, laudably, even made an exception to allow the Cuban baseball team to play in the World Baseball Classic. But I guess historians and anthropologists are less likely to defect and play catcher for NYU or Princeton.
I dutifully called the CA Congressional delegation to complain, but it's not likely to have done much good.
I vote for LASA never again to meet in the US until all our colleagues can attend.
