In October and November, Bolivian author and activist, Felix Muruchi will be speaking in the northeastern US and Chicago area about current process of social change. He is co-author with Benjamin Kohl and Linda Farthing of a personal history called From the Mines to the Streets (Texas, 2011, http://utpress.utexas.edu/index.php/books/kohfro).
