John Ross (March 11, 1938January 17, 2011) was an American author, poet, freelance journalist, and activist who lived in Mexico and wrote extensively on its leftist political movements. ==Life== Born in New York City, he was part of the Beat movement, and first came to Mexico in the late 1950s. He lived in Michoacán, and the Hotel Isabel in Mexico City. He was one of the early draft resisters during the Vietnam War. Ross was the author of several books, including a gritty portrait of Mexico City, where he spent almost all of his time since 1985. In early 2003 he travelled to Iraq, hoping to serve as a "human shield" to help protect Iraqi civilians prior to the U.S.-led invasion. The volunteers were forced out of the country because they were critical of the Iraqi government's choice of sites to protect. He died at Tzintzuntzan, Michoacán, Mexico. He is survived by his 3 children Dylan, Dante Ross and Carla and his grand children Honore and Zoe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Ross (activist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
