One of the Church of England's central aims is that it should become more diverse. This book is a contribution to the debate on how the church nationally and locally might better represent the cultural diversity of the communities which it is called to serve. Originating from the experiences of one of the most multicultural dioceses in the country, it offers a series of reflections that will enable readers to consider how they might think and act with greater cultural sensitivity in their contexts. Central to the book is the theme of gift exchange. All of life is celebrated as gift where we experience diversity, the other, hospitality and God as gifts. It explores the possibilities of intercultural gift exchange in the practices of generous giving, radical receptivity and transformative thanksgiving.

In Music and Cosmopolitanism, Cristina Magaldi examines music making in a past globalized world.

"Esta antología recoge más de una veintena de textos que recuperan los hitos de la obra del renombrado historiador uruguayo Gerardo Caetano. Repasar su trayectoria supone un recorrido por la historia uruguaya más reciente entre dos siglos, en particular los años finales de la dictadura, la recuperación de las libertades públicas y el desarrollo democrático. Los textos se organizan en cinco secciones que identifican los ejes fundamentales de un trabajo de más de cuatro décadas: la historia política uruguaya; la preocupación por las tensiones que nutren las identidades y la cuestión de los derechos; los avatares de la integración y del regionalismo en América Latina; la visión sobre personalidades de distintos ámbitos y épocas; y la dialéctica entre democracia y política en América Latina. Con aportes que dan cuenta de la calidad y el lenguaje preciso en sus formulaciones, el respaldo profuso de documentación y datos estadísticos, y la agudeza predominante en sus puntos de vista, Caetano ha delineado el nítido perfil de una personalidad multifacética, de notoriedad gravitante en el marco de un valioso plantel de historiadores, politólogos y científicos sociales contemporáneos con los que interactúa apostando en forma permanente a la exploración interpretativa conjunta del Uruguay, la región y el mundo que nos rodea." --

Volume II examines the history of the European Union from an inside-out perspective, focusing on the internal developments that shaped the European integration process. Split into three parts, Part I covers the principles that have defined European integration, exploring the treaties and their changes through time, with Brexit being a core milestone. Part II considers the different instruments within the architecture of European integration, with special focus on the development of policies, the euro and enlargement. Part III concentrates on the various narratives surrounding European integration, in particular the concepts, goals and ideas that both spoke and failed to speak to the hearts and minds of Europeans. This includes the 'longue durée' concept, peace, European culture, (the absence of) religion, prosperity and (a lack of) solidarity and democracy.
