An African American and Latinx History of the United States , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
An intersectional history of the shared struggle for African American and Latinx civil rights Spanning more than 200 years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history, arguing that the "Global South" was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Scholar and activist Paul Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress as exalted by widely taught formulations like "manifest destiny" and "Jacksonian democracy", and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms US history into one of the working class organizing against imperialism. Drawing on rich narratives and primary source documents, Ortiz links racial segregation in the Southwest and the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the 20th century, to May 1, 2006, known as International Workers' Day, when migrant laborers - Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth - united in resistance on the first "Day Without Immigrants". As African American civil rights activists fought Jim Crow laws and Mexican labor organizers warred against the suffocating grip of capitalism, Black and Spanish-language newspapers, abolitionists, and Latin American revolutionaries coalesced around movements built between people from the United States and people from Central America and the Caribbean. In stark contrast to the resurgence of "America First" rhetoric, Black and Latinx intellectuals and organizers today have historically urged the United States to build bridges of solidarity with the nations of the Americas. Incisive and timely, this bottom-up history, told from the interconnected vantage points of Latinx and African Americans, reveals the radically different ways that people of the diaspora have addressed issues still plaguing the United States today, and it offers a wa ungekürzt.

Turn Back, O Time: And Other Tales of the Faes of Malku: The Annals of Malku, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 484min
In the world of Malku, the clans of faes, merfolk, and ordinary landfolk live in a tenuous harmony. Oftentimes, one clan will war against another - fae against mer, fae against landfolk, landfolk against mer. Because the Malku world contains many regions, nations, land masses, and islands, the relationship between these clans differ from region to region. There is also a variety of religions, races, and classes which also complicate the relationships of individuals and societies. The annals of Malku are historical lore from many different regions, written in different languages, by different scribes, for varied purposes - to warn, to instruct, to explain. They contain the wisdom, romances, and tales of the kings, priests, and commonfolk of all those that dwell in Malku lands. The stories in this volume come from several countries in Malku. The primary story, "Turn Back O Time", tells the story of how Prince Eirik and the fae warred against the aristocrats of that land. Other stories include the story of how the fae prince Flight saved his god-daughter from a wrongful marriage, the tale of a betrayed mermaid in "The Girl in the Dim", and the story of the beginnings of the DragonFly Islands. This audiobook is part of a series which will include other annals such as the tales of "SeaWalker", "How Skall Dragonrider Won His Three Wives", "The Charcoal Bride", and many others. The Malku universe is an alternate world where fae, merfolk, and humans live together. The fae clan consists of water-faes, air-faes, and land faes. The human clans are equally varied with humans from all races, class, religions, and status. In some regions, there is harmony among these separate clans. In other regions, there are hurdles, prejudices, and social complications. The stories in this volume are not in chronological order. Some of the characters in these stories - the long-lived fae, for instance - appear in many stories in different centuries./p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: d golden.

Unspoken , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 672min
Set in a kingdom of warring lands, demon curses, and hidden magic, Unspoken is a fantasy for fans of Maggie Stiefvater's Mercy Falls Series and Sarah J Maas’ Throne of Glass."You are unbroken."Princess Isabelle of The New Kingdom has lived her entire life in the confines of her palace. She spends her time hunting for the poverty-stricken Voiceless - people of the Old Kingdom who warred with her kingdom and ultimately lost - and dreaming of a world beyond the walls of her home. As the only remaining child of the king and queen, she is to be married off by her 18th birthday."My father said that magic died long ago. It was evil, cursed, and wicked. My father is a liar."When Izzy witnesses the use of forbidden magic in the woods outside the palace, she is attacked and saved by an unknown man. Soon after, she discovers her rescuer is a Voiceless servant in the castle named Fray. She befriends him to seek out the magic users who tried to kill her. Fray agrees to help, but not before Isabelle discovers the servant boy harbors a secret the king has tried to bury - that he is a Gwylis, people of the old Kingdom who made a pact with the demons of the underworld for the power to transform into giant ferocious wolves. But to shift into a beast, Fray must be able to speak the words to do so. If he is to thwart the attackers from killing her entire family, Izzy needs to cure the ailment that took away his voice."Sometimes one action - one death - can spur a movement, sway the cosmos, and move the stars."But curing Fray holds more danger than she ever thought possible. The lies of her parents and the risk of putting her own life on the line deems as destructive as falling for the servant boy. If Isabelle is to save herself and Fray, she’ll need to face enemy Gwylis, cross paths with usurper kings and princes, and decide what side she is on - human or wolf - or lose her kingdom forever. ungekürzt.
