Uncertain Destiny

Stories and Memories of One Family?s Journey in South Texas

By: Randy Krinsky

The Rodriguez/Nava Family can boast a rich legacy full of historical moments and wondrous occasions. From 1731, when Salvador Rodriguez helped establish the first municipal government in Texas, to the 1830s, when family members fought valiantly in the Texas Revolution, this book deep-dives into archival documents and sheds light on little-known moments of familial history that impacted the lives of many to come. The book continues through to 1904, when members of the family settled in the Gulf Coast town of Rockport, Texas, to ultimately become one of the largest extended families in the region. We follow the family’s journey from making the decision to leave the safety of their homes in the Canary Islands on through the arduous journey to Spanish Texas, all the way to the present day. There are memories, historical events, anecdotes, and vintage family recipes that have been passed down for all to enjoy. This book includes transcriptions and translations of rare, archival documents and is a must read, not only for those interested in family histories but also for those interested in Texas history.

Six Lives in Jerusalem

End-of-Life Decisions in Jerusalem — Cultural, Medical, Ethical and Legal Considerations

By: Randy L. Sturman

whether the patient is suffering? Should the ability to think and reason be considered as the most important factor? For instance, should a patient with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) who is mentally alert yet unable to move from the neck down be allowed to refuse medical treatment; and, if so, at what point in her treatment should one consider her life no longer worth living? Is there a difference between not inserting a respirator into a patient who is unable to breathe and not inserting a feeding tube into a patient who is unable to eat? In other words, where does one draw the line between a life worth living and one that is beyond hope, and what criteria should be used? Several of my cases address this issue. 2. What are the religious influences that affect the decision-making process? Israelis all seem to agree that they are a “Jewish state” and that their Jewishness is extremely important to their collective identity; however, they have a difficult time defining what this means. There is a great deal of ambivalence, especially among the less religious, as to what role religion should be allowed to play in their lives. Many resent the control that the religious have over their lives; yet, they also feel that it is beneficial and should play some role in affecting the morals of the country.

Indonesian Civil Society and Human Rights Advocacy in ASEAN

Power and Normative Struggles

By: Randy W. Nandyatama

This book focuses on how Indonesian civil society organisations interact with ASEAN to shape human rights institutionalisation in the region. Using Bourdieu-inspired constructivist IR as an analytical lens, the book argues that there are pre-reflexive norms that dominate the field of interaction in the region that shape the way civil society organisations operate. This has resulted in the diverging advocacy practices, thus complicating human rights institutionalisation process in ASEAN.
