Ettington Narrator: Martin K. Ettington Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 9 minutes Release date: January 22, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In the United States of America today we live in a time of problems, confusion, and with lots of fighting between the main political parties. Yet, people from all over the world still want to come here. Why do so many persons still want to become Americans? I think it is because the United States has become the guiding star for the growth of humanity, now and in the future. People see their best futures to be here. There is nowhere else that the rights our citizens possess allow many to go from being penniless to a multimillionaire in their lifetimes. And the provisions of freedom of religion and freedom of speech are important to our full expression as human beings. But most American citizens despair about their lives, and the future of our country. Due to our poor educational system many don’t know the true history of this country and how it was formed to spread the Spirit of God in our country and around the world. And what about new industries created here in the USA? In fact can anyone name a new industry which was not created here? The purpose of this book is to show how the Spirit of God in man during the history of United States of America has made a huge positive difference in our world. We should be extremely proud of the country we live in. The United States was the light of the world in the past, is still in the present, and will continue to be so in the future.

Title: [Spanish] - Regreso a la jaula: El fracaso de López Obrador Author: Roger Bartra Narrator: Mauricio Pérez Castillo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 48 minutes Release date: January 20, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: ¿Cuáles fueron las verdaderas razones del triunfo electoral de Andrés Manuel López Obrador en 2018? Y aún más importante: a dos años de iniciado su gobierno, ¿dónde están las tan esperadas transformaciones políticas que prometía con vehemencia? Una de las claves para el éxito de AMLO, asegura Roger Bartra en este libro, fueron las cuestionables alianzas que impulsaron la campaña del hoy presidente, y que revelaron finalmente su verdadera orientación política.Aunque para los seguidores más fieles de su partido se vendió como un demócrata firmemente anclado en la izquierda, los hechos lo han revelado como un populista de la más conservadora derecha, inspirado en el priismo autoritario de los años sesenta y setenta. Para Bartra,esto significa sólo una cosa: la así autonombrada «Cuarta Transformación» no es sino un retroceso a una etapa de nuestra historia política que parecía ya superada, con todos los riesgos políticos, económicos y sociales que esto implica. Para muestra, basta un somero recuento de los resultados que han traído sus maltrechosprogramas sociales y sus agresivas medidas de austeridad, amén de su errática respuesta ante la emergencia derivada de la covid-19. Hoy es claro, quizá más que nunca, que el proyecto político de AMLO ha sido un fracaso que puede ser peligroso para el destino de México en el corto plazo. Ante ese escenario, las elecciones de 2021 tienen la posibilidad de equilibrar la balanza política del país en favor de una verdadera democracia plural o consolidar uno de los movimientos políticos más nocivos de nuestra historia reciente. ¿Qué camino elegirán los votantes?

Title: [Spanish] - Peligro Author: Bob Woodward, Robert Costa Narrator: Carles Sianes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 42 minutes Release date: January 14, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: La transición del presidente Donald J. Trump al presidente Joseph R. Biden Jr. es uno de los períodos más peligrosos de la historia de Estados Unidos. Pero como revelan por vez primera el ganador del Premio Pulitzer Bob Woodward y el aclamado reportero Robert Costa, se trataba de mucho más que una simple crisis política interna. Woodward y Costa entrevistaron a más de 200 personas en el centro de la confusión, lo que resultó en más de 6.000 páginas de transcripciones y un retrato fascinante y definitivo de una nación al borde del abismo. Este estudio clásico de Washington lleva a los lectores a lo más profundo de la Casa Blanca de Trump, la Casa Blanca de Biden, la carrera electoral de 2020, al Pentágono y al Congreso, con vívidos relatos de testigos presenciales de lo que realmente sucedió. Peligro se complementa con material nunca antes visto de órdenes secretas, transcripciones de llamadas confidenciales, diarios, correos electrónicos, notas de reuniones y otros registros personales y gubernamentales, lo que lo convierte en una historia incomparable. También es la primera mirada al interior de la presidencia de Biden mientras enfrenta los desafíos de su vida: la continua pandemia mortal y un mundo plagado de amenazas bajo la sombra oscura y flotante del ex presidente Trump. 'Tenemos mucho que hacer en este invierno de peligro', declaró Biden en su toma de posesión, un evento marcado por una alarma de seguridad angustiosa y la amenaza del terrorismo nacional.' - Bob Woodward es editor asociado en The Washington Post, donde ha trabajado durante cuarenta y siete años. Ganador de dos Premios Pulitzer, el primero por su cobertura del Watergate y el segundo en 2003 como reportero líder cubriendo el atentado terrorista del 11-S. Robert Costa es un reportero político nacional en The Washington Post, donde ha trabajado desde 2014. Anteriormente se desempeñó como moderador y editor gerente de Washington Week en PBS y como analista político para NBC News y MSNBC. Tiene una licenciatura de la Universidad de Notre Dame y una maestría de la Universidad de Cambridge.

Title: The Capitalist and the Activist: Corporate Social Activism and the New Business of Change Author: Tom C. W. Lin Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 11, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 2023 Axiom Business Books Award Silver Medalist (Business Commentary) 2023 Nautilus Book Award Silver Medalist (Social Change & Social Justice) This is the first in-depth examination of the important ongoing fusion of activism, capitalism, and social change masterfully told through a compelling narrative filled with vivid stories and striking studies. Corporations and their executives are at the forefront of some of the most contentious and important social issues of our time. Through pronouncements, policies, boycotts, sponsorships, lobbying, and fundraising, corporations are actively engaged in issues like immigration reform, gun regulation, racial justice, gender equality, and religious freedom. Despite corporate social activism being everywhere these days-witness how quickly companies and progressives united to oppose North Carolina's 'bathroom bill' or support the Black Lives Matter movement-there has been no in-depth examination of the far-reaching consequences of this movement. What first principles should guide businesses' approaches? How should activists engage with businesses in a way that is most beneficial to their causes? What are potential pitfalls and risks associated with corporate social activism for activists, businesses, and society at large? Weaving studies and stories, Temple University professor of law, Tom C. W. Lin offers a road map for how we got here and a compass for where we are going as a nation of capitalists and activists seeking profit and progress.

Title: The Future of Palestine: How Discrimination Hinders Change Author: Tamar Haddad Narrator: Tamar Haddad Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 53 minutes Release date: January 7, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Future of Palestine: How Discrimination Hinders Change was inspired by the shocking 'honor killing' of the author's classmate and friend, Israa Ghrayeb. Her alleged crime? The simple act of going out, in broad daylight, with her fiancé and his sister-an act Ghrayeb's cousin maintained was unacceptable in a conservative society. While Ghrayeb's killers may be free, their manner of thinking is anything but. In The Future of Palestine, author Tamar Haddad seeks to open minds to diverse perspectives and to give voice to those who are commonly marginalized in conservative Palestinian society. In a world where prejudice is all too familiar, The Future of Palestine suggests that change can occur through: - Engaging in theoretical readings such as post colonialism, Orientalism, psychoanalysis, nationalism, race theory, queer theory, feminism, and marxism - Sharing stories of marginalized Palestinians - Providing non-Palestinians with a background about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict This book is for those who reject discrimination against the marginalized and wish to make a difference. Coming together and discussing Palestinian history, identity, trauma, the notion of religion, women, race, sexual orientation, and class should change us all for the better.

Title: Dismantling Global White Privilege: Equity for a Post-Western World Author: Chandran Nair Narrator: Karen Huie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 45 minutes Release date: January 4, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: White privilege damages and distorts societies around the world, not just in the United States. This book exposes its pervasive global reach and creates a new space for discourse on worldwide racial equality. In mid-2020, during the protests in the United States after the murder of George Floyd, over one hundred other countries held solidarity protests. These demonstrations often decried racial injustice and structural discrimination in their own societies. But no books have been written for a general audience describing the insidious role of white supremacy around the world. Chandran Nair argues that white privilege is the best way to understand how oppression and dominance by Western cultures operates. Touching on history, business, environment, entertainment, media fashion, education, and more, he analyzes how it has shaped, repressed, and destroyed local cultures to seek and preserve white economic power. Nair identifies white privilege as the driving force behind globalization, being constantly upheld and reproduced by a global superstructure that perpetuates widespread white economic and military dominance. This book provides a middle ground between brief media mentions and the dense rhetoric of racial politics so readers can develop a new worldview around dismantling white privilege at the global scale.

Title: It Could Happen Here: Why America Is Tipping from Hate to the Unthinkable—And How We Can Stop It Author: Jonathan Greenblatt Narrator: Jonathan Greenblatt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 34 minutes Release date: January 4, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 2 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Refreshingly candid . . . Get off Instagram and read this book.” —Sacha Baron Cohen  From the dynamic head of ADL, an impassioned argument about the terrifying path that America finds itself on today—and how we can save ourselves. It’s almost impossible to imagine that unbridled hate and systematic violence could come for us or our families. But it has happened in our lifetimes in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. And it could happen here. Today, as CEO of the storied ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), Jonathan Greenblatt has made it his personal mission to demonstrate how antisemitism, racism, and other insidious forms of intolerance can destroy a society, taking root as quiet prejudices but mutating over time into horrific acts of brutality. In this urgent book, Greenblatt sounds an alarm, warning that this age-old trend is gathering momentum in the United States—and that violence on an even larger, more catastrophic scale could be just around the corner. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Drawing on ADL’s decades of experience in fighting hate through investigative research, education programs, and legislative victories as well as his own personal story and his background in business and government, Greenblatt offers a bracing primer on how we—as individuals, as organizations, and as a society—can strike back against hate. Just because it could happen here, he shows, does not mean that the unthinkable is inevitable.
