Title: Jfk

Author: Mike Parson

Narrator: Chloe Jacobson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 40 minutes

Release date: October 14, 2022

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

Fifty years after the assassination, JFK continues to be the “most popular past president,” with nearly 85 percent of all Americans polled saying that they approved of Kennedy’s job performance. Kennedy, despite his quirks, remains one of America’s best-known and well-liked leaders. Many Americans responded to Kennedy, whose idealized image seemed to reflect their hopes and dreams. He won the presidency by a narrow margin, showing that nearly half the voters were unmoved by Kennedy’s idealism, youth, and promise. Television accentuated Kennedy. His image was often exaggerated but was broadly representative of his many attributes. Kennedy was the nation’s first president to understand the power of imagery. He harnessed the power of media and television to cultivate clear images and sustain popular appeal. Kennedy and others in the White House consciously worked to create positive ideas that portrayed the President’s youthful appearance and his wholesome appeal as a faithful husband and loving father. Many people identified with idealized images of Kennedy, who seemed like a picture of robust health and an ideal family man. Behind the scenes, though, a different idea has emerged over time of an enigmatic, complex man—a human capable of both selfless and selfish motives and actions. This book assesses both the positive and negative dimensions of the Kennedy legacy to provide a fresh perspective. This book will survey John F. Kennedy’s life and highlight some images associated with his rise to the presidency. It will summarize Kennedy’s famous vision to understand why some Americans embraced or rejected the President’s idea. The final chapter will discuss the impact of the assassination and emergence of the Camelot myth and the legacy of the Kennedy presidency.

Title: Native American People

Author: Wilson Bellacoola

Narrator: Robert Caruso

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 8 minutes

Release date: October 13, 2022

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

The Psychological Impact of Historical Trauma on Native American People Native American historical trauma is similar to other massive generational group traumas. Past examples include the Jewish holocaust, the slavery of the African people in the United States, and the treatment of Japanese Americans in the U.S. during World War II. Understanding the history of Native Americans allows for the design of culturally specific preventative and therapeutic interventions. Contrary to what is taught in modern history books, Native Americans were an advanced culture deeply immersed in their environments. From the invasion by the Spanish in the 1400s to the scorched earth extermination policies of the United States in the 1800s, Native Americans endured attempted genocide, forced relocation and confinement to reservations, and forced assimilation. Historical trauma is generational and dwells deep in the souls of Native American individuals and communities across the United States. For any healing to occur, one must take a close look at the root cause of historical trauma for the Native American people. The focus of this book is to explore and develop ideas that will assist Native Americans in accessing which old ways are too biologically ingrained to do away with and what new ways must be taken on to come to terms with such a massively different environment. It is essential to understand the environment in which Native American people live, know their history, and see how this history has shaped them. It is equally important to understand and respect their worldview, which describes the thought process of a people or a culture. Native Americans were displaced from their traditional lands, their sacred sites were excavated, and their sacred objects were placed in private collections and museums. Their dead were exhumed from traditional burial sites to make room for ranching and industry. Their artwork was never seen as separate from their culture. It was commercially reproduce

Title: Native American Women

Author: Wilson Bellacoola

Narrator: Don T Buy

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 2 minutes

Release date: October 13, 2022

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

A traditional Cheyenne saying still holds true for many Native Americans today: 'A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground.' While Native American women have taken a beating—literally and figuratively—since the European conquest of Native America, the women's hearts are still beating. Although Native American tribes and nations vary historically and contemporarily, traditional Native American women's perspectives can be generalized to an extent. Native American women typically value being mothers, caretakers, and social transmitters of cultural knowledge. A Native American woman's identity is generally rooted in her spirituality, extended family, and tribe. In fulfilling their traditional roles as leaders in their communities, American Indian women are often at the core of American Indian resistance and struggle for liberation. Native women have a long history of assuming leadership positions within their particular tribes. Their struggles share many of the characteristics of women's struggles associated with feminism in the larger society, yet many Native American women explicitly reject the label of feminism. This book considers the historical oppression of Native peoples and the relative exclusion of Native women in the existing feminist research. What became apparent despite their more central position in their societies, traditional Native women tend not to view themselves as feminists. An important theme running through the book was although Native women, in general, do not have equality of opportunity within larger American society in terms of economic resources, employment, education, health care, etc., and in many cases, are solely responsible for the survival of their families. Native women do not view their struggles for more power within their communities and the larger society as incompatible with home and family priorities.

Title: George Washington And The American Revolutionary War

Author: Mike Parson

Narrator: Don T Buy

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 21 minutes

Release date: October 12, 2022

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

Despite having little practical experience in managing large, conventional armies, Washington proved to be a capable and resilient leader of the American military forces during the Revolutionary War. While he lost more battles than he won, Washington employed a winning strategy. One element of Washington’s strength was his sternness as a disciplinarian. The army was continually dwindling and refilling, politics largely governed the selection of officers by Congress and the states, and the ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-paid forces were often half-prostrated by sickness and ripe for mutiny. At the same time, the commander-in-chief won the devotion of many of his men through his earnestness in demanding better treatment for them from Congress. He complained of their short rations, declaring once that they were forced to “eat every kind of horse food but hay.” He built on the reputation he had garnered during the War for Independence as the personification of American virtue and liberty, providing a potent national symbol with which newly unified peoples of different states could identify.

Title: Slave Religion: The 'Invisible Institution' in the Antebellum South

Author: Albert J. Raboteau

Narrator: Rodney Louis Tompkins

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 15 hours 27 minutes

Release date: January 23, 2022

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

Twenty-five years after its original publication, Slave Religion remains a classic in the study of African American history and religion. In a new chapter in this anniversary edition, author Albert J. Raboteau reflects upon the origins of the book, the reactions to it over the past twenty-five years, and how he would write it differently today. Using a variety of first and second-hand sources-- some objective, some personal, all riveting-- Raboteau analyzes the transformation of the African religions into evangelical Christianity. He presents the narratives of the slaves themselves, as well as missionary reports, travel accounts, folklore, black autobiographies, and the journals of white observers to describe the day-to-day religious life in the slave communities. Slave Religion is a must-read for anyone wanting a full picture of this 'invisible institution.'
