A Nation Fermented Beer, Bavaria, and the Making of Modern Germany [Audiobook]

Free Download Robert Shea Terrell, Mike Lenz (Narrator), "A Nation Fermented: Beer, Bavaria, and the Making of Modern Germany"
English | ASIN: B0CSLL4WP3 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:17:00 | 263 MB
How did beer become one of the central commodities associated with the German nation? How did a little-known provincial production standard-the Reinheitsgebot, or Beer Purity Law-become a pillar of national consumer sentiments? How did the jovial, beer-drinking German become a fixture in the global imagination?
While the connection between beer and Germany seems self-evident, A Nation Fermented reveals how it was produced through a strange brew of regional commercial and political pressures. Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the last decades of the twentieth, A Nation Fermented argues that the economic, regulatory, and cultural weight of Bavaria shaped the German nation in profound ways. Drawing on sources from over a dozen archives and repositories, Terrell weaves together subjects ranging from tax law to advertising, public health to European integration, and agriculture to global stereotypes.
Offering a history of the Germany that Bavaria made over the twentieth century, A Nation Fermented both eschews sharp temporal divisions and forgoes conventional narratives centered on Prussia, Berlin, or the Rhineland. In so doing, Terrell offers a fresh take on the importance of provincial influences and the role of commodities and commerce in shaping the nation.

English | ASIN: B0CRMD5LHY | 2024 | 8 hours and 53 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 238 MB
Author: Alejandra Dubcovsky
Narrator: Raquel Beattie
A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority. Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women-Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale-to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.
