Meeting at the crossroads: How then will we proceed?

Abstract

In this presidential address delivered at the Annual Meeting of The Association for Humanist Sociology in 2010, the reality of Ciudad Juarez as a crossroad is explored. The audience is asked to consider the role the U.S. has had in the formation of the poverty and violence of the city and to hear the story of a Centro Mujeres Tonantzin, a group of women who have created hope in the midst of their reality.
