Free Download This is Not America: Why Black Lives in Britain Matter (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C118P4WS | 2023 | 9 hours and 9 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 241 MB
Author: Tomiwa Owolade
Narrator: Tomiwa Owolade
Across the West, racial injustice has become a matter of urgency. Terms like ‘critical race theory’ and ‘intersectionality’ are everywhere and, in the rush to get it right, Britain has followed the lead of the world’s dominant political power: America. But what if we’ve been looking in the wrong place? In This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade argues that too much of the debate around racism in Britain is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don’t reflect the history, challenges and achievements of black communities at home. Humane, empirical and passionate, this book promises to start a new conversation around race and, vitally, shed light on black British life today.

Free Download Liberal Lives and Activist Repertoires: Political Performance and Victorian Social Reform
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009297538 | 394 Pages | PDF | 18 MB
This ambitious study traces the strategies of human rights activists to show how world-changing reform movements were shaped by women and men from modest backgrounds who were deeply attuned to the power of performance. Tracy C. Davis explores nineteenth-century reform campaigns through the pioneering work of a family of activists – prominent anti-slavery lecturer George Thompson, his daughter Amelia (the first female theatre and music critic for a British daily newspaper) and her husband, the political organizer Frederick Chesson. Engaging in some of the most important social struggles of the late Georgian and Victorian periods – including abolition, enfranchisement, and anti-genocide – this book reveals how two generations’ insights into performance consolidated into activist tactics that persist today. Characterised by a skilful deployment of performance theory alongside deep and wide-ranging historical knowledge, this ground-breaking work demonstrates what ‘dramaturgy’ can teach us about ‘history’.

English | ASIN: B0C296MVMN | 2023 | 8 hours and 30 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 431 MB
Author: Dr Danna Staaf
Narrator: Norma Butikofer
Nursery Earth shines a spotlight on the world’s baby animals, asking us to turn back the clock on our favourite creatures and explore how they develop on a level never before seen! Biologist Danna Staaf takes us on a quest seeking out the most fascinating (and sometimes most bizarre) babies, including the elusive newborn Humboldt squid in the Gulf of California, the unusual yet adorable juvenile echidna ‘puggle,’ the baby moth that looks and acts like a venomous snake and the bug with the grandest entrance in the animal kingdom – the periodical cicada, which cyclically inundates the East Coast. Staaf shows us how important young animals are to the ecosystems they inhabit, not least because of their abundance (at any given moment, most animals in the natural world are babies!). Nursery Earth achieves something improbable, helping us appreciate and love Earth’s baby animals even more than we already do!
