Böhm y Navarro
Somos una de las pocas familias que pueden documentar su historia desde la Edad Media en Alemania (Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico) y en México desde principios de la Nueva España. Una de las razones por las que mi esposo y yo, nos hemos dado a la tarea de escribir la historia de nuestras familias, es que los dos vivimos lejos de nuestra patria y aunque nuestros tres hijos nacieron en Alemania, Nuestros nietos están naciendo en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Nuestras nueras son de tres diferentes nacionalidades, Alemana, Irlandesa y Norteamericana. Por lo anterior, decidimos escribir la historia de nuestras raices para nuestra descendencia, en vez de llevarnosla a la tumba. Ojalá que nuestro trabajo de tantos años, despierte el interés de las nuevas generaciones, propias y extrañas, pues es para ellas que lo hemos hecho.

Historia Eclesiástica Indiana
Written in 1595, Fray Mendieta's work presents the history of the advent of Christianity in the Caribbean and Mexican regions as a consequence of the Spanish conquest. He illustrates the triumph and tragedy of the missionary effort and the difficulties in the conversion of the Indians, conflicts between spiritual ends and material interests. This edition of translated sections also presents some translated sections from Mendieta's letters, including a letter addressed to King Philip II of Spain.
Emma Goldman
Emma Goldman has often been read for her colorful life story, her lively if troubled sex life, and her wide-ranging political activism. Few have taken her seriously as a political thinker, even though in her lifetime she was a vigorous public intellectual within a global network of progressive politics. Engaging Goldman as a political thinker allows us to rethink the common dualism between theory and practice, scrutinize stereotypes of anarchism by placing Goldman within a fuller historical context, recognize the remarkable contributions of anarchism in creating public life, and open up contemporary politics to the possibilities of transformative feminism.
Sanctuary and Asylum
The practice of sanctuary—giving refuge to the threatened, vulnerable stranger—may be universal among humans. From primate populations to ancient religious traditions to the modern legal institution of asylum, anthropologist Linda Rabben explores the long history of sanctuary and analyzes modern asylum policies in North America, Europe, and elsewhere, contrasting them with the role that courageous individuals and organizations have played in offering refuge to survivors of torture, persecution, and discrimination. Rabben gives close attention to the mid-2010s refugee crisis in Europe and to Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States. This wide-ranging, timely, and carefully documented account draws on Rabben’s experiences as a human rights advocate as well as her training as an anthropologist. Sanctuary and Asylum will help citizens, professionals, and policy makers take informed and compassionate action. A Capell Family Book
Honoring Human Rights
This collection of essays critiques human rights field missions that were part of large UN and other multinational peacekeeping operations during the period 1994 through 1997. The authors served as human rights officers for the missions, including those in El Salvador, Haiti, Cambodia, Guatemala, Rwanda, and Bosnia. The several chapters trace the evolution of the missions, the role of human rights within the peacekeeping process, and the relationship between monitoring abuses and rebuilding the institutions necessary for a rights-respecting civil society. Future peacekeeping ventures should benefit from the analysis of these operations and from the recommendations that conclude each of the two sections of the book.
