In May 2017, Marawi – a city of 200.000 inhabitants in the Southern Philippines – was the first conurbation of South-East Asia to fall into the Islamic State's allies’ hands. Surprised by the thus far unthinkable attack in a predominantly catholic country, the Philippine army took five months to retake Marawi. It was its deadliest urban battle since the end of the Second World War. Months after its liberation, the city is devastated and still under military control. At the crisis’ peak, 600.000 civilians were displaced. In the Muslim Southern Philippines, the siege of Marawi has upset the balance of power. Muslim ex-rebels who had waged war against the Philippine army now fight alongside them against the terrorist group. In the countries, villagers organize their own defense with whatever means at hand.

In this tenth anniversary edition of his award-winning memoir, New York Times bestselling author Peter Balakian has expanded his compelling story about growing up in the baby-boom suburbs of the ’50s and ’60s and coming to understand what happened to his family in the first genocide of the twentieth century—the Ottoman Turkish government’s extermination of more than one million Armenians in 1915. In this new edition, Balakian continues his exploration of the Armenian Genocide with new chapters about his journey to Aleppo and his trip to the Der Zor desert of Syria in his pursuit of his grandmother’s life, bringing us closer to the twentieth century’s first genocide.

In Borderlands Saints, Desiree A. Martin examines the rise and fall of popular saints and saint-like figures in the borderlands of the United States and Mexico. Focusing specifically on Teresa Urrea (La Santa de Cabora), Pancho Villa, Cesar Chavez, Subcomandante Marcos, and Santa Muerte, she traces the intersections of these figures, their devotees, artistic representations, and dominant institutions with an eye for the ways in which such unofficial saints mirror traditional spiritual practices and serve specific cultural needs. Popular spirituality of this kind engages the use and exchange of relics, faith healing, pilgrimages, and spirit possession, exemplifying the contradictions between high and popular culture, human and divine, and secular and sacred. Martin focuses upon a wide range of Mexican and Chicano/a cultural works drawn from the nineteenth century to the present, covering such diverse genres as the novel, the communique, drama, the essay or cronica, film, and contemporary digital media. She argues that spiritual practice is often represented as narrative, while narrative—whether literary, historical, visual, or oral—may modify or even function as devotional practice.

In the Summer of 1995, Bosnian Serbs massacred thousands of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, which the United Nations had declared a safe haven and had promised to protect. An international investigation into this tragedy revealed that the UN may deserve some blame for having failed to prevent this massacre. 'Part 2' of the two-part program documents the actual siege of Srebrenica and the failure of UN forces to protect this safe haven as they had promised to do. The program includes additional dramatic footage from the film Safe Haven, attesting to the systematic 'rounding up, expulsion, and deliberate and planned execution' of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica. It also includes a discussion among host Charlayne Hunter-Gault, Former Ambassador Robert Gallucci, and Newsday reporter Roy Gutman about the role of morality in governmental decision making, the ineffectiveness of the UN in dealing with internal national conflicts, and the need for timely intelligence and swift intervention by the U.S. and other nations to prevent heinous human rights violations and ensure global stability.
