Introduction to the tenth anniversary issue

Abstract

With this issue we celebrate the tenth year of publication of the Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars. The Bulletin's parent organization, the Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars, was founded to protest the war in Vietnam and the silence of the Asian studies profession with regard to U.S. sponsorship of the war. [See the Statement below.] From there, the concerns of CCAS and BCAS spread more generally to anti-imperialism and to providing a forum for a more balanced assessment of socialist societies in Asia.
