Diu
The ex-Portuguese Island of Diu – a once strategic maritime gateway to the bay of Cambay, Gujarat, India – features in the corpus of Portuguese history and literature, but a comprehensive study of the island was lacking. Mehrdad and Natalie Shokoohy, known for surveying little-known historic sites in India, present the study of the built environment of Diu in conjunction with the contemporaneous Indian histories in Arabic and Persian, resulting in a fresh view of Indian Ocean commerce and conquest. Extensive surveys of the Fort, the Town and the Island, include the epigraphy, fortifications, urban fabric, mosques, shrines, churches, monasteries, water infrastructure and the Zoroastrian Fire Temple and Towers of Silence. Fragmentary Hindu and Jain archaeological remains are also noted.

American Protestants and the Debate over the Vietnam War
As American soldiers fought overseas in Vietnam, American churchmen debated the legitimacy and impact of the war at home. While the justness of the war was the primary issue, they also argued over conscientious objection, the legitimacy of protests, the weapons of war, and other related topics. Divided into three primary groups—mainline, conservative evangelical, and African American—and including fourteen denominations, this book uses the churchmen’s publications and proceedings to better understand how American religion responded to and was impacted by the Vietnam War. In the various debates, churchmen brought their theological convictions and reading of the Bible to bear on their po...

Terra somnàmbula
Fugint de la violència que assola el seu país, el vell Tuahir i el jove Miudinga, un noi que no recorda el seu passat, busquen refugi en un autobús calcinat. A dins, hi troben uns quaderns que narren la vida d'un dels difunts. A mesura que en Muidinga els llegeix, aquesta història i la seva pròpia semblen discórrer de forma paral·lela i transitar entre la realitat i el somni. Terra somnàmbula és considerada una de les deu millors novel·les africanes del segle xx. Té com a teló de fons la guerra civil de Moçambic, un escenari d'abisme per on transiten uns personatges amb una profunda humanitat que vaguen entre la desesperació més contundent i l'esperança que es nega a morir. Amb una prosa poètica i lírica, Mia Couto reivindica la tradició oral per afrontar l'oblit del passat i la memòria.
