White Fear: How the Browning of America Is Making White Folks Lose Their Minds (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BDGMRD6B | 2022 | 3 hours and 28 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 189 MB
Author: Roland S. Martin
Narrator: Roland S. Martin
White fear has shaped our democracy and society from the beginning-and today, it's more intense and visible than ever. To neutralize it, we must first understand it. White fear is not new. It enabled the rise of Donald Trump. It's behind the recent flood of restrictive voting laws disproportionately impacting people of color. It's why reactions to movements like Black Lives Matter and a football player taking a knee have been so negative and so strong. For two centuries, the deep-seated fear that many White people feel-of losing power, of losing economic standing, of losing a particular "way of life"-has been the driving force behind American politics and culture. And as we approach a future where White people will become a racial minority in the US, something estimated to occur as early as 2043, that fear is only intensifying, festering, and becoming more visible.

When Broadway Was Black: The Triumphant Story of the All-Black Musical That Changed the World (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVNS4Z7W | 2023 | 12 hours and 4 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 332 MB
Author: Caseen Gaines
Narrator: Caseen Gaines
If Hamilton, Rent, or West Side Story captured your heart, you'll love this in-depth look into the rise of the 1921 Broadway hit Shuffle Along, the first all-Black musical to succeed on Broadway. No one was sure if America was ready for a show featuring nuanced, thoughtful portrayals of Black characters―and the potential fallout was terrifying. But from the first jazzy, syncopated beats of composers Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, New York audiences fell head over heels. When Broadway Was Black is the story of how Sissle and Blake, along with comedians Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles, overcame poverty, racism, and violence to harness the energy of the Harlem Renaissance and produce a runaway Broadway hit that launched the careers of many of the twentieth century's most beloved Black performers. Born in the shadow of slavery and establishing their careers at a time of increasing demands for racial justice and representation for people of color, they broke down innumerable barriers between Black and white communities at a crucial point in our history. Author and pop culture expert Caseen Gaines leads listeners through the glitz and glamour of New York City during the roaring twenties to reveal the revolutionary impact one show had on generations of Americans and how its legacy continues to resonate today.

Under the Hammer: Edward I and Scotland (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BTJ8PNV2 | 2023 | 12 hours and 24 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 354 MB
Author: Fiona Watson
Narrator: Mhairi Morrison
War truly begins when the invading army, conquest complete, goes home. It is the relationship between the native population and those remaining behind as part of the new administration which holds the key to our understanding of not only the mechanisms of conquest, but also the fundamental elements of government desired by societies. Nowhere is this more convincingly demonstrated than in the attempted annexation of Scotland by Edward I of England, already conqueror of Wales. The Scotland of Wallace and Bruce nearly succumbed, having wrestled with contradictory desires for independence, and for stability and united government, for nearly a decade.

The White Pill: A Tale of Good and Evil (Audiobook)
English | February 03, 2023 | ASIN: B0BTR7XS9T | M4B@128 kbps | 9h 11m | 513 MB
Author and Narrator: Michael Malice
The Russian Revolution was as red as blood. The Bolsheviks promised that they were building a new society, a workers' paradise that would change the nature of mankind itself. What they ended up constructing was the largest prison the world had ever seen: a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that spanned half the globe.
It was a country where people's lives meant nothing, less than nothing-and they knew it. But no matter what atrocity that the Soviets committed-the secret police, the torture chambers, the show trials, the labor camps, and the mass starvation-there was always someone in the West rushing to justify their bloodshed. For decades, it seemed perfectly obvious that the USSR wasn't going anywhere-until it vanished from the face of the earth, gradually, and then suddenly. This is the story of the rise and fall of that evil empire, and why it is so important for the good to never give up hope. This is The White Pill.

The Turning Tide: A Biography of the Irish Sea (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B15N3V84 | 2023 | 11 hours and 59 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 342 MB
Author: Jon Gower
Narrator: Jon Gower
An immersive history of a pivotal stretch of water. The Turning Tide is a hymn to a sea passage of world-historical importance. Combining social and cultural history, nature-writing, travelogue and politics, Jon Gower charts a sea which has carried both Vikings and saints, invasion forces and furtive gun-runners, writers, musicians and fishermen. The divided but interconnected waters of the Irish Sea-from the narrow North Channel through St George's Channel to where the Celtic sea opens out into wide Atlantic-have a turbulent history to match the violence of its storms. Jon Gower is a sympathetic and interested pilot, taking the listener to the great shipyards of Belfast and through the mass exodus of the starving during the Irish Famine in coffin boats bound for America.
