  • Handbook for a Post-Roe America by Robin Marty
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/385817 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Handbook for a Post-Roe America Author: Robin Marty Narrator: Charon Normand-Widmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 28 minutes Release date: June 22, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This comprehensive manual for understanding and preparing for the looming changes to reproductive rights law explains how to get the healthcare you need—by any means necessary. Activist and writer Robin Marty guides listeners through various worst-case scenarios of a post-Roe America and offers ways to fight back, including how to acquire financial support, how to use existing networks and create new ones, and how to, when required, work outside existing legal systems. She details how to plan for your own emergencies, how to start organizing now, what to know about self-managed abortion care with pills and/or herbs, and how to avoid surveillance. The only guidebook of its kind, Handbook for a Post-Roe America includes an extensive, detailed resource guide for all pregnant people (whether cis, trans, or non-binary), listing clinics, action groups, abortion funds, and practical support groups in each state so that, wherever you live, you can get involved. With a newly right-wing Supreme Court and a Republican Senate, Roe is under threat. Robin Marty observes that When we say abortion will be illegal in half the states in the nation, we are no longer talking about some hypothetical future—we are talking about just years down the road. We have to act now to secure what access remains, shore up the networks supporting those who need care, and decide what risks we are willing to take to ensure that any person who wants a termination can still end that pregnancy—with or without the government's permission.

  • Who Killed My Father by Édouard Louis

Title: Who Killed My Father Author: Édouard Louis Narrator: Édouard Louis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 38 minutes Release date: June 20, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Penguin presents the audio edition of Who Killed My Father, written and read by Edouard Louis. Who Killed My Father is the story of a tough guy – the story of the little boy I never was. The story of my father. In Who Killed My Father, Édouard Louis explores key moments in his father’s life, and the tenderness and disconnects in their relationship. Told with the fire of a writer determined on social justice, and with the compassion of a loving son, the book urgently and brilliantly engages with issues surrounding masculinity, class, homophobia, shame and social poverty. It unflinchingly takes aim at systems that disadvantage those they seek to exclude – those who have their expectations, hopes and passions crushed by a society which gives them little thought.

Title: Anthem Author: Ayn Rand Narrator: Jason Mccoy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 47 minutes Release date: June 20, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Ayn Rand's dystopic science-fiction novella takes place at some unspecified future date. Mankind has entered another dark age as a result of what Rand saw as the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned -- when it is allowed to occur at all -- and the concept of individuality has been eliminated. As is common in her work, Rand draws a clear distinction between the 'socialist/communal' values of equality and brotherhood and the 'productive/capitalist' values of achievement and individuality.

  • The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction by Daniel Brook
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/384819 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction Author: Daniel Brook Narrator: David Sadzin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 14 minutes Release date: June 18, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In The Accident of Color, Daniel Brook journeys to nineteenth-century New Orleans and Charleston and introduces us to cosmopolitan residents who elude the racial categories the rest of America takes for granted. Before the Civil War, these free, openly mixed-race urbanites enjoyed some rights of citizenship and the privileges of wealth and social status. But after Emancipation, as former slaves move to assert their rights, the black-white binary that rules the rest of the nation begins to intrude. During Reconstruction, a movement arises as mixed-race elites make common cause with the formerly enslaved and allies at the fringes of whiteness in a bid to achieve political and social equality for all. In some areas, this coalition proved remarkably successful. Activists peacefully integrated the streetcars of Charleston and New Orleans for decades and, for a time, even the New Orleans public schools and the University of South Carolina were educating students of all backgrounds side by side. Tragically, the achievements of this movement were ultimately swept away by a violent political backlash and expunged from the history books, culminating in the Jim Crow laws that would legalize segregation for a half century and usher in the binary racial regime that rules us to this day.

  • [Spanish] - Asedio: Trump en el punto de mira / Siege: Trump Under Fire: Trump en el punto de mira by Michael Wolff
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/383428 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Asedio: Trump en el punto de mira / Siege: Trump Under Fire: Trump en el punto de mira Author: Michael Wolff Narrator: Mio Marabotto Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 29 minutes Release date: June 18, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Michael Wolff, autor del fenómeno de ventas Fuego y furia, regresa de nuevo para llevarnos dentro de la presidencia de Trump y revelar a una Casa Blanca bajo asedio. Si Fuego y furia definió la primera fase de la administración de Trump, ahora, en Asedio, Wolff ha escrito un libro igualmente imprescindible y explosivo sobre una presidencia que se encuentra en el punto de mira desde todos los ángulos. En una narración de espectacular frescura, que comienza con el inicio del segundo año de la presidencia de Trump y termina con la entrega del informe Mueller, Asedio revela una administración que se encuentra perpetuamente acosada por investigaciones y un presidente cada vez más volátil, errante y expuesto. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Michael Wolff, author of the bombshell bestseller Fire and Fury, once again takes us inside the Trump presidency to reveal a White House under siege. Just one year into Donald Trump’s term as president, Michael Wolff told the electrifying story of a White House consumed by controversy, chaos, and intense rivalries. Fire and Fury, an instant sensation, defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in Siege, Wolff has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side. At the outset of Trump’s second year as president, his situation is profoundly different. No longer tempered by experienced advisers, he is more impulsive and volatile than ever. But the wheels of justice are inexorably turning: Robert Mueller’s “witch hunt” haunts Trump every day, and other federal prosecutors are taking a deep dive into his business affairs. Many in the political establishment―even some members of his own administration―have turned on him and are dedicated to bringing him down. The Democrats see victory at the polls, and perhaps impeachment, in front of them. Trump, meanwhile, is certain he is invincible, making him all the more exposed and vulnerable. Week by week, as Trump becomes increasingly erratic, the question that lies at the heart of his tenure becomes ever more urgent: Will this most abnormal of presidencies at last reach the breaking point and implode? Both a riveting narrative and a brilliant front-lines report, Siege provides an alarming and indelible portrait of a president like no other. Surrounded by enemies and blind to his peril, Trump is a raging, self-destructive inferno―and the most divisive leader in American history.

  • The Best People: Trump's Cabinet and the Siege on Washington by Alexander Nazaryan
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/384362 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Best People: Trump's Cabinet and the Siege on Washington Author: Alexander Nazaryan Narrator: Robert Fass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: June 18, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: An engrossing look at the Trump cabinet: the scandals, the incompetence, the assault on the federal government, the bungled attempts to impose order on an administration lost in a chaos of its own making. Donald Trump promised a return to national greatness, but each day of his presidency seems to bring a new crisis, a deepening sense of national unease. Why, and how, has he failed his supporters? And how has he, on occasion, bested his detractors? The Best People takes complete measure of the Trump administration, to grasp with clarity the president and his intentions, and how those intentions are being carried out-or subverted-by the people he has hired. Alexander Nazaryan argues that the 'assault on the administrative state' promised by Steve Bannon in early 2017 never came. What the American people got instead was Wilbur Ross hauling his tennis pro to confirmation hearing preparations; Scott Pruitt running away from rattlesnakes; Reince Priebus enduring insults from junior White House staffers. And yet, bungling as Trump's cabinet members have been, they have managed to either damage or arrest many of the gears that make government run. They have given away public lands to oil companies and allowed corporate lobbyists to make decisions about what is best for the American people, and have done it all while flying on private jets and dining at the finest restaurants, at taxpayers' expense. Meticulously reported and enthrallingly told, The Best People takes readers inside the federal government under Trump's control, a government assailed by the very people charged to lead it, a government awash in confusion and corruption.
