Synchronicity Bleue Tapa blanda - 2015

John-Jean (a.k.a John-Jean Ofrias, or John Ofrias, or Jean Ofrias) writes in English and French, on both sides of the Canadian/American border. He is a unique writer, as his work has appeared in Newsday, the Montreal Gazette, Reason, Le Vigil and Indpendantes.quebec. In Quebec, militants know: John-Jean est un membre actif du mouvement de l'indpendance du Qubec.

He is also an Adjunct Professor of Social Science for the State Univerisity of New York at Suffolk County Community College. He has taught ground breaking courses in international studies, with students from the U.S.A in Quebec. John-Jean is probably most well-known (at least in certain parts of Quebec) for coining the phrase, Parlez Bleu, (in praise of Quebec and the French language) and for writing the highly-controversial article published June 22, 2014 in the Montreal Gazette titled: Speak French, or resign to becoming American.

John-Jean does public speaking concerning his writings and social and political issues, in the United States and Canada. A collection of articles written by John-Jean in English and French (with translations from one language to the other) is expected to be published early in 2016.
