The Sound of Exclusion
In The Sound of Exclusion, Christopher Chávez critically examines National Public Radio's professional norms and practices that situate white listeners at the center while relegating Latinx listeners to the periphery. By interrogating industry practices, we might begin to reimagine NPR as a public good that serves the broad and diverse spectrum of the American public.

Collective Memory of Rural Life in an Original Village in Mexico City
This book is the result of the collective effort of the people of a small, rural town absorbed by urban development at the southern tip of Mexico City. It is made up of memories about the lives they shared with their parents while young and with the same neighbors that now gather to recall the games, the food, the streets and the activities that used to be part of their daily lives. It presents a way to build a future that rescues the nature of the community based on the sense of identity that still binds them together as members of the town, in spite of the segregating trends in city dynamics.

Jesuit Superior General Luis Martín García and His Memorias
Fr. Luis Martín García was superior general of the Society of Jesus during one of the most fractious periods in western history, from 1892 to his death in 1906. Fortunately for both the church and his order, he was endowed with remarkable gifts of mind and spirit. He was also troubled with personal challenges that he had to face almost entirely on his own. As an aid, he kept a memoir, prodigious in both size and content, to be published posthumously. The memoir appeared in a critical Spanish edition in 1988. In this present book, David Schultenover provides a condensed English version of it along with an interpretation that engages the question, why would a Jesuit superior general leave to posterity such a candid memoir? The subtitle “Showing Up” provides a clue.

SOLVING STATELESSNESS IN MYANMAR
When the Nu-Atlee Agreement decolonized Burma (Myanmar), the option to refuse the nationality for the new state and chose another nationality had not been given to the minorities of Burma (Myanmar). Before the independence of Myanmar, all the peoples including the minorities were under the protection of the Article 73 of the UN Charter. When the minorities of Burma (Myanmar) became stateless by decolonization, this is against the "object and purposes" of Article 73 of the UN Charter that can never be "sacrificed." Decolonization is based on the principle, "leaving no one behind" for the right of the peoples to self-determination. The UN and the international community as a whole under the erga omnes responsibility for the protection of the Nu-Atlee Agreement on the base that "no derogation shall be allowed from the right of the peoples to self- determination."
