Author: David Montero, Michael Eric Dyson
Narrator: Eric Jason Martin

This groundbreaking book tracks the massive wealth amassed from slavery from pre-Civil War to today, showing how our modern economy was built on the backs of enslaved Black people-and lays out a clear argument for reparations that shows exactly what was stolen, who stole it, and to whom it is owed. In this timely, powerful, investigative history, The Stolen Wealth of Slavery, Emmy Award-nominated journalist David Montero follows the trail of the massive wealth amassed by Northern corporations throughout America’s history of enslavement. It has long been maintained by many that the North wasn’t complicit in the horrors of slavery. The truth, however, is that large Northern banks-including well-known institutions like Citibank, Bank of New York, and Bank of America-were critical to the financing of slavery; that they saw their fortunes rise dramatically from their involvement in the business of enslavement; and that white business leaders and their surrounding communities created enormous wealth from the enslavement and abuse of Black bodies.

English | ASIN: B0CPTHQGT2 | 2024 | 8 hours and 44 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 240 MB
Author: John Washington
Narrator: Pete Cross

Because of restrictive borders, human beings suffer and die. Closed borders force migrants seeking safety and dignity to journey across seas, trudge through deserts, and clamber over barbed wire. In the last five years alone, over 60,000 people have died or gone missing while attempting to cross a border. As we deny, cast out, and crack down, we have stripped borders of their potential-as lines of contact, catalyst, and blend-turning our thresholds into barricades. Brilliant and provocative, The Case for Open Borders deflates the mythology of national security through border lockdowns by revisiting their historical origins; it counters the conspiracies of immigration’s economic consequences; it urgently considers the challenges of climate change beyond the boundaries of narrow national identities.

Author: Ingrid Robeyns
Narrator: Rachel Bavidge

How much money is too much? Is it ethical, and democratic, for an individual to amass a limitless amount of wealth, and then spend it however they choose? Many of us feel that the answer to that is no-but what can we do about it? Ingrid Robeyns has long written and argued for the principle she calls limitarianism-or the need to limit extreme wealth. This idea is gaining momentum in the mainstream-with calls to tax the rich and slogans like every billionaire is a policy failure-but what does it mean in practice?

The Paramilitary Hero on Turkish Television A Case Study on Valley of the Wolves


Free Download Berfin Emre Cetin, "The Paramilitary Hero on Turkish Television: A Case Study on Valley of the Wolves"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 144387082X | PDF | pages: 196 | 1.3 mb
The Paramilitary Hero on Turkish Television: A Case Study on Valley of the Wolves explores the representation and reception of nationalism and masculinity in Turkey through an examination of the popular television serial, Valley of the Wolves which has been aired on Turkish television since 2003. This detailed examination of the show demonstrates a particular discourse of nationalism, namely the Turkish Islam synthesis embedded in a gender-specific regime in which the paramilitary hero is placed at the centre. The study draws on thirty-seven in-depth interviews with viewers of the programme from different social backgrounds. These viewers read the serial from various perspectives in the light of their gendered experiences, suggesting that the relationship between text and audience is not necessarily predetermined by the former, but is rather constructed through an interdiscursive process. The book also examines the pleasures of the "contesting" readers of Valley of the Wolves, drawing on the audience interviews, and argues that critical approaches to a particular media text do not present a barrier to audience pleasures.
