Hi all, professional meetings (the AAR, the AAA, the AAS) are coming up. This would be a great time to mention the issue of academic censorship in China and our peer review boycott to editors and publishers at the various book exhibitions. Also a great time to talk to others about signing! Meanwhile, another breaking story from Australia this week: Publisher Allen & Unwin dropped a book by Clive Hamilton on the influence of the Chinese Communist Party on Australian politics citing fear of legal action from China.
