> Friends of Vincent Kelly Pollard will be happy to hear of the posthumous
> publication of his edited work "State Capitalism, Contentious Politics and
> Large-Scale Social Change" (Brill), that he almost completed before his
> quite untimely passing about a year ago. Members of H-Asia will know him
> as a regular contributor, and this volume emerged out of a panel at an AAS
> conference in San Diego which itself was facilitated through a CFP he
> posted in H-Asia. David Fasenfest, the Brill Critical Social Sciences
> Editor has written an "In Memoriam" for Dr.Pollard. Dr.Pollard spent many
> years on bringing out this volume fighting his own health problems and
> several other unexpected delays. Apart from an introduction, he has also
> contributed an article on Phillipines.
>
> A promised third piece for the volume was left unfinished. Other
> contributors have written on state capitalism themes in Russia, China, and
> India (by myself). The complete reference with Table of Contents is given
> below.
