Title: The Darkened Light of Faith: Race, Democracy, and Freedom in African American Political Thought

Author: Melvin L. Rogers

Narrator: Diontae Black

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 14 hours 55 minutes

Release date: September 26, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook narrated by Diontae Black gives a powerful account of what a group of nineteenth- and twentieth-century African American activists, intellectuals, and artists can teach us about democracy Could the African American political tradition save American democracy? African Americans have had every reason to doubt America's democratic experiment. Yet African American activists, intellectuals, and artists who have sought to transform the United States into a racially just society have put forward some of the most original and powerful ideas about how to make America live up to its democratic ideals. In The Darkened Light of Faith, Melvin Rogers provides a bold new account of African American political thought through the works and lives of individuals who built this vital tradition, which is urgently needed today. The book reexamines how figures as diverse as David Walker, Frederick Douglass, Anna Julia Cooper, Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, Billie Holiday, and James Baldwin thought about the politics, people, character, and culture of a society that so often dominated them. Sharing a light of faith darkened but not extinguished by the tragic legacy of slavery, they resisted the conclusion that America would always be committed to white supremacy. They believed that democracy is always in the process of becoming and that they could use it to reimagine society. But they also saw that achieving racial justice wouldn't absolve us of the darkest features of our shared past, and that democracy must be measured by how skillfully we confront a history that will forever remain with us. An ambitious account of the profound ways African Americans have reimagined democracy, The Darkened Light of Faith offers invaluable lessons about how to grapple with racial injustice and make democracy work.

Title: Save the Planet

Author: Raphael Terra

Narrator: Synthetic Voice (tts)

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 45 minutes

Release date: September 26, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). Ever since the end of the Black Death in 1350 the human population has been growing continuously at an alarming rate and there is no sign of it stopping anytime soon. The biggest increase has been in most recent times. From the 1950's onward and due largely to medical advancement and the increase in agricultural productivity, the rate of increase has been significant. This in itself should tell us something. That this is a modern problem created recently and we have no precedent, no history to work upon. We don't know exactly what is going to happen. We don't know if a super virus will come along again as it did in 1918 and kill millions of people. We don't know if we will eat ourselves into mass extinction. We don't know if the destruction of natural species such as bees will seal our fate. We don't know if an asteroid will wipe us out or even artificial intelligence. We do know that overpopulation, no matter which way you look at it, is not good. We do know that we are running out of fossil fuels, food supplies, methods of producing more and more power and space. What does the future hold for a planet that is swarming in two-legged locusts hell bent on devouring every possible resource the Earth has to offer?

Title: Democracies in America: Keywords for the 19th Century and Today

Author: Gregory Laski, D. Berton Emerson

Narrator: Amir Abdullah, Kyla García, Vyvy Nguyen, James Babson, Mia Ellis, Lisa Larsen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 47 minutes

Release date: September 26, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Ask someone their thoughts about 'democracy' and you'll get many different responses. Some may presume it a thing once established yet now under threat. Others may believe that democracy has always been compromised by the empowered few. In the contemporary United States, marked by constituencies across the political spectrum believing that their voices have gone unheard, 'democracy' gets wielded in so many divergent directions as to be rendered nearly incoherent. Democracies in America reminds us that this reality is nothing new. Focusing on the various meanings of 'democracy' that circulated in the nineteenth century, the book collects twenty-five essays, each taking up a keyword in the language we use to talk about democracy. The essays consider the relationship between 'America' and 'democracy' from multiple disciplinary angles and from different moments in a major historical period-amidst the vitality of the revolutionary epoch, in the contentious lead-up to the Civil War, and through the triumphs and failures of Reconstruction and the early reforms of the Progressive Era-while making both forward and backward glances in time. This volume cultivates, for students and teachers in classrooms, as well as citizens in libraries and cafés, a language to deliberate about the possibilities and problems of democracy in America.

Title: Hide Your Children: Exposing Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids

Author: Liz Wheeler

Narrator: Stephanie Richardson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 48 minutes

Release date: September 26, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Having conquered all the major institutions of our culture, the left is closing in on its final frontier—your children. In this new book, Liz Wheeler exposes where the forces of wokeness are at work and explains how parents can fight back for a change. Everything is on the line. Despite the occasional victory, conservatives are on the defensive on every front of the culture wars, especially America’s schools. Planned Parenthood is funding gender theory indoctrination, groomer teachers are introducing youngsters to pornography, Disney executives are bragging about their “queerness agenda,” and teacher’s unions are poisoning young minds with racism. If someone doesn’t stand up and fight, these ideas will be the norm for a new generation. A distressing number of parents refuse to see how depraved our schools have become. The next generation will determine the fate of the American experiment in ordered liberty. Will they pass it on to their children, or will we lose our nation forever? Parents and their allies must go on the offensive in this existential fight. Fortunately, they have the truth on their side. It is not too late.

Bring accused of aggression shuts the conversation down, when you want to open it up.   This book features examples, tools, sample scripts, and action plans to help readers prevent subtle acts of aggression from happening, or deal with them when they do. Updated throughout, this second edition features: - A greatly expanded chapter on 'intentional acts of inclusion'-actions for creating a sense of belonging. - A discussion and activity guide ideal for book clubs and training sessions - A new concluding chapter, Hope for Humanity Whether in the form of stereotypes, assumptions, backhanded compliments, or objectification, SAEs are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. This book is your friendly, accessible, non-judgemental guide to creating a welcoming workplace.

Title: [German] - Logik der Angst - Die rechtsextreme Gefahr und ihre Wurzeln (Ungekürzte Lesung)

Author: Peter R. Neumann

Narrator: Tim Gössler

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 4 minutes

Release date: September 12, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Die Mordserie des NSU (2000-2006), der Terroranschlag von Anders Breivik (2011), das Attentat in München (2016), das Massaker von Christchurch, der Mord an Walter Lübcke (2019), die Anschläge von Halle (2019) und Hanau (2020): Rechtsextreme Gewalt beschäftigt uns schon lange - und in den letzten Jahren besonders massiv. Mit Wahlerfolgen radikaler Parteien, wie zuletzt in Schweden und Italien, droht der Rechtsextremismus mehrheitsfähig zu werden; im Zuge sozialer Proteste könnten extreme Gruppierungen zu einer umfassenden Bewegung zusammenfinden. Peter R. Neumann, einer der weltweit profiliertesten Experten, zeigt, wie real diese Gefahr ist - und wo ihre tieferen, ideologischen Wurzeln liegen. Statt nur einzelne Gruppen zu beschreiben, legt er das Wesen, die Logik des Rechtsextremismus frei - ebendas, was all diese Gruppen verbindet, ob Alte oder Neue Rechte, Neorassisten oder Identitäre, Reichsbürger oder Verschwörungstheoretiker, AfD oder Rassemblement National. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele, von der völkischen Bewegung im 19. Jahrhundert bis zum Populismus der Gegenwart, zeigt Neumann: Am Anfang steht nicht der Hass, sondern die Angst. Ein Psychogramm des Rechtsextremismus - das zugleich eine dringende Warnung ist.

Title: To Build a Black Future: The Radical Politics of Joy, Pain, and Care

Author: Christopher Paul Harris

Narrator: Landon Woodson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 46 minutes

Release date: September 12, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

This audiobook narrated by Landon Woodson shares how the new Black politics can forge a future centered on collective action, community, and care When #BlackLivesMatter emerged in 2013, it animated the most consequential Black-led mobilization since the civil rights and Black power era. Today, the hashtag turned rallying cry is but one expression of a radical reorientation toward Black politics, protest, and political thought. To Build a Black Future examines the spirit and significance of this insurgency, offering a revelatory account of a new political culture—responsive to pain, suffused with joy, and premised on care—emergent from the centuries-long arc of Black rebellion, a tradition that traces back to the Black slave. Drawing on his own experiences as an activist and organizer, Christopher Paul Harris takes readers inside the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) to chart the propulsive trajectory of Black politics and thought from the Middle Passage to the present historical moment. Carefully attending to the social forces that produce Black struggle and the contradictions that arise within it, Harris illustrates how M4BL gives voice to an abolitionist praxis that bridges the past, present, and future, outlining a political project at once directed inward to the Black community while issuing an outward challenge to the world. Essential reading for the age of #BlackLivesMatter, this visionary and provocative book reveals how the radical politics of joy, pain, and care, in sharp contrast to liberal political thought, can build a Black future that transcends ideology and pushes the boundaries of our political imagination.
