 Elizabeth Ijalba, "Language, Culture, and Education: Challenges of Diversity in the United States" English | ISBN: 1107081874 | 2019 | 328 pages | PDF | 5 MB [center]  Marcos Zunino, "Justice Framed: A Genealogy of Transitional Justice" English | ISBN: 1108475256 | 2019 | 318 pages | PDF | 3 MB Why are certain responses to past human rights violations considered instances of transitional justice while others are disregarded? This study interrogates the history of the discourse and practice of the field to answer that question. Zunino argues that a number of characteristics inherited as transitional justice emerged as a discourse in the 1980s and 1990s have shaped which practices of the present and the past are now regarded as valid responses to past human rights violations. He traces these influential characteristics from Argentina's transition to democracy in 1983, the end of communism in Eastern Europe, the development of international criminal justice, and the South African truth commission of 1995. Through an analysis of the post-World War II period, the decolonisation process and the Cold War, Zunino identifies a series of episodes and mechanisms omitted from the history of transitional justice because they did not conform to its accepted characteristics.

 Jutta Haider, "Invisible Search and Online Search Engines: The Ubiquity of Search in Everyday Life" English | ISBN: 1138328618 | 2019 | 160 pages | PDF | 3 MB Invisible Search and Online Search Engines considers the use of search engines in contemporary everyday life and the challenges this poses for media and information literacy. Looking for mediated information is mostly done online and arbitrated by the various tools and devices that people carry with them on a daily basis. Because of this, search engines have a significant impact on the structure of our lives, and personal and public memories. Haider and Sundin consider what this means for society, whilst also uniting research on information retrieval with research on how people actually look for and encounter information.
