Title: Fear of Black Consciousness

Author: Lewis R. Gordon

Narrator: Landon Woodson, Lewis R. Gordon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:04:39

Language: English

Release date: 01-11-22

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

A pioneering philosopher explores how racial identity is constructed - and experienced - through history, art and popular culture

'There is a movement from a suffering black consciousness to a liberatory Black consciousness in which revelation of the dirty laundry and fraud of white supremacy and black inferiority is a dreaded truth'

Lewis Gordon, one of the leading scholars of Black Existentialism, has spent decades nurturing intellectual reflection as a vital component of ongoing activism for racial justice around the world. In this boldly original book, he delves into history, art, politics and popular culture to show how the process of racialization - and its absence - affects not only how individuals and society perceive black people but also how black people perceive themselves.

Fear of Black Consciousness traces the ways in which the lived experience of black people has been rendered invisible in the Western world and the breadth of rich cultural expression that encapsulates the truth nonetheless - from ancient African languages to films such as Get Out and Black Panther. Gordon offers a stunning philosophical and social critique while highlighting the fundamental role of Black people as agents of history and of the social change required to build a humane world of dignity, freedom and respect.

Summary:

Mary Rackham was born in Norwich on 14th August 1848 to a merchant family. Little is known of her early life and her biography only re-appears in September 1871 with marriage to Fairman Joseph Mann, a farmer with 800 acres. Mary moved to Shropham, Norfolk and became involved with the workhouse, visiting the sick and other unfortunates of the parish, her observations and experiences a valuable source for her later stories. She took up writing, partly to offset the dreary village life of her surroundings, in the 1880s and published her first novel, The Parish of Hilby (1883) at her own expense. It was well received by the critics. Thus began a career that spanning three decades provided thirty-three novels, hundreds of short stories, and fourteen plays. Her work was largely focused on rural life in Norfolk and centered on the fictional town of Dulditch, with grim but authentic accounts of poverty and deprivation. Her marriage produced one boy and three girls. With her husband's death in 1913, she moved to Sheringham. She is regarded as a major contributor to East Anglian literature with particular praise given to her short stories.Mary E Mann died on 19th May 1929. She was 80. Her grave-marker is a carved open book with the epitaph We bring our years to an end, as if it were a tale that is told.Life in Ben Pitcher's Elly is degrading, awful and unvarnished. The chances of this young girl having a happy life are remote but her story must be heard.

Summary:

Our 'fight of flight' response is something hardwired into the primitive part of our brain. Our need to survive, to outlive whatever danger poses, that immediate threat to our lives is little short of a marvel. Everything else is abandoned in order to survive. Whilst in modern times that ability has been somewhat modified and 'reasoned' away to an extent, in past years it's what usually kept you alive.In this volume people struggle valiantly to survive and to exist no matter the extent of the threat they face. In the words of our authors including William Hope Hodgson, Richard Connell, Jack London, Honore de Balzac and a wealth of others, they vividly demonstrate how or whether the participants survive ... or fail. 01 - Short Stories About Survival - An Introduction 02 - The White Silence by Jack London 03 - A Passion in the Desert by Honoré de Balzac 04 - The Interlopers by Saki the pseudonym for H H Munro 05 - The Outcasts of Poker Flat by Bret Harte 06 - Taman by Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov 07 - The Great Slave by Zane Grey 08 - The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson 09 - The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell 10 - The Open Boat by Stephen Crane 11 - To Build a Fire by Jack London 12 - The Snowstorm - Part 1 by Leo Tolstoy 13 - The Snowstorm - Part 2 by Leo Tolstoy

Summary:

For many of us illness refers solely to the physical. Accidents and disease wear us down, hiccup our life from childhood to old age. But everyone empathises, understands and helps us on the road to recovery. Mental illness though can still carry a stigma. A case of 'you're not trying hard enough', 'or knuckling down and getting on with it'. But in more recent decades mental issues have come to be recognised as an illness, a disease rather than an affliction. We all remember horror stories of lobotomy's and electric shock being used to 'cure' what society viewed as anti-social behaviour but illness, mental or physical is very real. Depression, schizophrenia, breakdown, psychosis, are alarming events to have or to witness. In this volume our classic authors including Sherwood Anderson, Amy Levy, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Barry Pain and many others explore this oft neglected and most difficult of topics.1 - Short Stories About Mental Illness - An Introduction2 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol3 - The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman4 - Sokratics in the Strand by Amy Levy5 - A Complete Recovery by Barry Pain6 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy7 - Adventure by Sherwood Anderson8 - Miss Ogilivy Finds Herself by Radclyffe Hall9 - Hide And Seek or Pliatki by Fyodor Sologub10 - Brothers by Sherwood Anderson11 - Fear by Catherine Wells12 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain13 - Shut Out by F Anstey14 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford15 - The Lie by Leonid Andreyev16 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe17 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe18 - The Last of Squire Ennismore by Charlotte Riddell19 - Cohen of Trinity by Amy Levy20 - The City by Leonid Andreyev21 - In the Séance Room by Lettice Galbraith22 - A Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin23 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson24 - Silence by Leonid Nikolaevich Andreyev25 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather
