Partisan but inconclusive reflections from David Holiday. This blog was mostly active from March 2004 to September 2005, and has recently been revived as of late 2009. Posts from that earlier period are searchable through the google link below. For those folks interested in Latin America, I strongly recommend subscribing to Joshua Frens-String's M-F news summaries, at joshuafrens-string.com. For over 20 years, I worked professionally on Central America -- residing there from 1991-2005, writing and working on human rights, peace processes and democratization. Following two short-term assignments -- in Uzbekistan (before getting kicked out), and Kabul, Afghanistan (voluntary departure!) -- I landed back in Washington, DC, working on Latin America. You can check out my website for further professional details. .

"Probably forgotten more than I will ever know about Latin America" --Randy Paul
"A reliable left-of-center critique of Things Southern" --Marc Cooper
"Whoever you are, you are very confused." --Andrew Arato
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts." --Daniel Patrick Moynihan

"Many people have taken action, but if their state of being is not peaceful or happy, the actions they undertake only sow more troubles and anger and make the situation worse. So instead of saying 'Don't just sit there; do something,' we should say the opposite, 'Don't just do something, sit there.'" --Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear David,
Maggi was a wonderful friend to all of us. We will miss her so much! She was not only a great colleague at the UCA, but also my single-mom friend as we raised our children under difficult circumstances. She also introduced you to me!
Do you have room on your domain to set up a memorial space? I would love to see testimonials & photos all in one spot.
All the best, Christina
This comment is from Jeremy Popkin, Maggi's brother. There will be a memorial service for my beloved sister on Sunday, May 22, 3 pm, at the River Road Unitarian Universalist Church, 6301 River Road, Bethesda, MD. We invite all her friends and colleagues to join us.
