Title: African American Women Poets from 1746 to the Harlem Renaissance

Narrator: Trei House

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 2 minutes

Release date: January 1, 2022

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

Race and gender have denied many their rightful place in the canon of humanity's arts.In today's world, in the blink of an electronic pulse, words can be transported across continents and peoples and all too easily lost in the ever-growing mass of disposable culture of 'me-me-me' and 'more- more-more'. We can all be 'woke' be 'politically correct' be outraged at a transgression or even a slight. Everything means something to someone. But, once again, more modern times miss the reality of what others in previous generations suffered in the battle for equality and recognition. In America, to be black and a woman over the years this volume covers, was to be chattel, to be bartered, sold, trafficked and used for no more than the whims of others.It was a harsh reality, and yet...., and yet, these women produced verse that sears our souls with the ambition to tell others, to share with us all, what life was like, what was endured and the heartbreak of what their reality was. They could not be overcome; their voice sought to endure and not be smothered. Words are powerful weapons, they form ideas, they create movements and manifestos that can change the world. Many of the women in this volume added to those words, to that desire that the words of their Constitution would someday include themselves. The fight is not yet wholly won, prejudice and inequality still single them out but the flame of hope, of destiny continues to burn fiercely with their names. Their poetry is not solely of protest but rich in a range of subjects embracing tenderness, love, family and includes works by Alice Dunbar Nelson, Frances W Harper, Phyllis Wheatley, Zora Neale Hurston, Esther Popel, Clarissa Scott Delany and many others whose voice voices call to us through the years.01 - African American Women Poets from 1746 to the Harlem Renaissance - An Introduction02 - Bars Fight by Lucy Terry03 - On Virtue by Phyllis Wheatley04 - To a Lady and Her Children on the Death of Her Son and Their Brother by Phyllis Wheatley05 - An Hymn to the Morning by Phyllis Wheatley06 - An Hymn to the Evening by Phyllis Wheatley07 - Bury Me in a Free Land by Frances E W Harper08 - My Mother's Kiss by Frances E W Harper09 - The Slave Trade Girl's Address to Her Mother by Sarah Louisa Forten10 - Burial of Sarah by Frances E W Harper11 - Reflections, Written On Visiting the Grave of a Venerated Friend by Ann Plato12 - The Natives of America by Ann Plato13 - The Angel's Visit by Charlotte L Forten Grimke14 - Disappointment by May E Tucker15 - Light In Darkness by Mary E Tucker16 - Hope by Mary E Tucker17 - Drifts That Bar My Door by Adah Isaacs Menken18 - Infelix by Adah Isaacs Menken19 - Aspiration by Adah Isaacs Menken20 - The Coming Woman by Mary Weston Fordham21 - In Memorium.

Author: Miguel Pastrana

Narrator: Carlos Zertuche

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 29 minutes

Release date: September 13, 2020

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

Mesoamérica era una extensa área cultural que abarco un periodo de más de cuatro milenios, en el que mientras algunas civilizaciones alcanzaban su esplendor, otras llegaron a su más profunda decadencia. Los pueblos mesoamericanos creían que antes de ellos habían existido cuatro eras o soles. Para ellos el quinto y último sol, en el que vivían, había comenzado en Teotihuacán. La evolución de estos pueblos inicia con el desarrollo de la agricultura, la urbanización de las ciudades, además de la invención de varios sistemas de escritura y de complejos calendarios. Los teotihuacanos, toltecas y tarascos ocuparon el centro del valle de México, el estado de Hidalgo y Michoacán, y dejaron una herencia artística que hoy en día es considerada patrimonio de la humanidad.

Title: Apostles of Disunion: Southern Secession Commissioners and the Causes of the Civil War: Fifteenth Anniversary Edition

Author: Charles B. Dew

Narrator: Mitchell Dorian

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 4 minutes

Release date: May 19, 2020

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

Charles Dew's Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states' secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of our great national crisis. The fifteen years since the original publication of Apostles of Disunion have seen an intensification of debates surrounding the Confederate flag and Civil War monuments. In a powerful new afterword to this anniversary edition, Dew situates the book in relation to these recent controversies and factors in the role of vast financial interests tied to the internal slave trade in pushing Virginia and other upper South states toward secession and war.

Publisher's Summary:

Estas civilizaciones, aportaron su arte y sus ideas para conformar, junto con otros pueblos, un área de alta cultura en Mesoamérica. Sin embargo, se tiene conocimiento de la existencia de culturas 'preolmecas', de las que se han encontrado señales intactas de su desarrollo, hace más de cuatro mil años, en los restos de vasijas de cerámica grabada con imágenes del maíz, el Sol, el cielo, el rayo y la tierra. En todos estos vestigios aparecen representaciones de niños-jaguares; patas con garras; manos muy estilizadas, y enormes cabezas de piedra con rasgos negroides y ojos rasgados. Estas antiguas civilizaciones estaban ubicadas en los actuales estados de Tabasco, Veracruz y Oaxaca.

Title: [Spanish] - Historia secreta mapuche

Author: Pedro Cayuqueo

Narrator: Alejandro Bono

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 31 minutes

Release date: August 12, 2019

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

'La historia la escriben los vencedores', sentenció el escritor inglés George Orwell. Esto bien lo saben los mapuches. ¿Cómo se entiende si no que un pueblo guerrero en el siglo dieciséis, diplomático en el diecisiete, rico y ganadero en el dieciocho y diecinueve, pasara a ser más tarde en la historia oficial chileno-argentina una tropa de 'salvajes y bárbaros'? ¿O que sus grandes líderes y estadistas, que parlamentaron siglos con la Corona Española y mantuvieron luego nutrida correspondencia con mandatarios de ambas repúblicas, fueran degradados a indios 'traidores' y 'rencorosos', 'ladrones' y 'borrachos'? 'El único deber que tenemos con la historia es reescribirla', señaló el poeta y dramaturgo irlandés Oscar Wilde. En este nuevo libro del periodista Pedro Cayuqueo, la historia mapuche es reescrita para honrar la memoria de sus ancestros. Pero no se trata de un anecdotario. Mucho menos de un panfleto. Un gran trabajo de investigación y extensa bibliografía que incluye a destacados académicos, así como memorias de cronistas y viajeros que recorrieron en tiempos pasados el Wallmapu libre, sostienen cada una de sus páginas. El autor reescribe, haciendo uso de la crónica periodística, la fascinante historia de resistencia de su pueblo. Y lo hace de manera diferente, entretenida, casi en lenguaje cinematográfico, como si se tratara de una serie de Netflix. Nunca antes la historia mapuche la contaron así.

Title: The American Heritage History of the Civil War

Author: Bruce Catton

Narrator: Barrett Whitener

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 0 minutes

Release date: January 1, 1991

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

Infinitely absorbing, Bruce Catton’s The Civil War is one of the most widely read general histories of the war available in a single volume. “America needed its great war of brothers,” wrote Bruce Catton, “to weld in a terrible fire what had been and what might be. The story of the war needs retelling because it helped to change the future of the human race.” The Civil War is America’s great Iliad, and few would dispute that its outcome is evident in most social and political issues today. For a person seeking a single volume to serve as a captivating introduction and a dependable guide through all the maze of battles and issues of the Civil War, this is a book without parallel. Catton understood the Civil War, its participants and battles, and he unfolds it with skill and simplicity, from the early division of the North and South to the final surrender of the Confederate troops. Of all historians past and present, Bruce Catton ranks among the best.
