3. When listed under a person‘s name, listed by last name. (Example: Tom Hayden at Roxbury)
4. For both #2 and #3 above—when listed/shelved other than the beginning word of a title—you should see an underline on the
part of the title under which it is listed/shelved.
5. [brackets] sends you to where it is listed/shelved.
6. Titles which BEGIN with NUMERALS (e.g. 9/11…; 648 Ways…) are listed and shelved BEFORE the alphabetical list.
7. VHS and DVD formats are shelved in SEPARATE places. That‘s one reason why the FORMAT in the listings is important.

Balseros DVD Cuba The documentary ―Balseros‖ (a.k.a. Cuban Rafters) began as a Spanish
US Foreign Policy TV newsmagazine story covering 15 days in August, 1994, when Fidel
Castro allowed Cubans to sail off the island in homemade vessels. Havana
beaches were crowded with rafts, but most of the defectors were routed
back to Guantanamo Bay, where some were detained for more than a year
before they obtained visas to go to the US. During that time, documentari-
ans Charles Bosch and Josep Maria Domenech followed the progress of
seven Cubans as they received visas and job offers, courtesy of the USA
Catholic Conference, which promptly scattered the expatriates across their
new country. Bosch and Domenech quietly documented the disproportion-
ate expectations of the American Dreamers who imagined Miami and set-
tled for Nebraska. The soundtrack was conceived, written and interpreted
by Cuban artist Lucrecia (who lived in Barcelona for many years).

Military tion used the narrative strategically—and the news media perpetuated it

for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and taught children to dehuman-
ize the enemy, justify their killing, and treat the suffering of innocent ci-
villains as necessary sacrifice. Interviews with media scholars (Robert
