That and the Democratic Party kicking us back out after the 1984 election was especially egregious due to the HIV/AIDS crisis. It receives a glance in the article but there's more on the 84-88 period in my book (that is not published yet), if you want to be more sad about how bad those years were.

We are interested in researchers with substantive interests in the relations between China and the Americas, Inter-Americas IR, and/or migration processes and policies. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

The Institute of the Americas at UCL is hiring a Lecturer of IR in the Americas. The position is equivalent to a US tenure-track Assistant Professor. We are an interdisciplinary department of historians and political scientists. I'm happy to answer questions about the department, UCL, and London.

Thrilled to be joining UCL institute of the Americas in a couple of weeks!
