Deadheads, Hörbuch, Digital, 168min
Life is a bed of roses for Patrick Aldermann when Great Aunt Florence collapses into her Madam Louis Laperrieres and he inherits Rosemont House with its splendid gardens. But when his boss, ‘Dandy’ Dick Elgood, suggests to Peter Pascoe that Aldermann is a murderer - then retracts the accusation - the inspector is left with a thorny problem. By then Police Cadet Singh, Mid-Yorkshire’s first Asian copper, had dug up some very interesting information about Patrick’s elegant wife Daphne. Superintendent Dalziel, meanwhile, is attempting to relive the days of Empire with Singh as his tea-wallah. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Buchanan.

Die Erfindung des muslimischen Anderen
Nicht wenige, die an 'muslimische' Menschen und 'deren' Lebenswelten denken, sehen diese Bilder vor ihrem inneren Auge: Köftespieße, Gebetsteppiche, Baklava und Schwarztee, Gemüsehandel und Barbiershops mit arabischen Schriftzeichen, kopftuchtragende, auf dem Boden speisende Frauen in Hinterzimmern, verrauchte Cafés voller Männergruppen mit schwarzen Bärten und lauten Stimmen, die sich lediglich mit den Worten wallah, insallah und yani zu unterhalten scheinen ...In unserer Gesellschaft herrscht offensichtlich der Drang, über den 'Islam' und die 'Musliminnen' zu sprechen. Es sind in erster Linie rassistische (Islam-)Bilder, Vorstellungen und Denkweisen, die sich fest in das kulturelle Gedächtnis der Dominanzgesellschaft eingebrannt haben: archaische Kultur, rückständige Religion, übergriffige, gewaltaffine Männer und unterworfene Frauen.Der vorliegende Essayband erklärt nicht, wie 'Musliminnen wirklich sind', sondern wirft den Blick zurück auf jene, die diese Bilder produzieren und weitertragen. Mal ernst, mal augenzwinkernd, mal (selbst)ironisch demaskieren die Beiträge den antimuslimischen Rassismus und entlarven die Konstruktion des bedrohlichen Anderen als identitätsstiftend und herrschaftsstabilisierend.- Shop: buecher

Interrogating My Chandal Life: An Autobiography of a Dalit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 940min
If you insist that you do not know me, let me explain myself.... You will feel, why, yes, I do know this person. I've seen this man. With these words, Manoranjan Byapari points to the inescapable roles all of us play in an unequal society. Interrogating My Chandal Life: An Autobiography of a Dalit is the translation of his remarkable memoir Itibritte Chandal Jivan. It talks about his traumatic life as a child in the refugee camps of West Bengal and Dandakaranya, facing persistent want - an experience that would dominate his life. The book charts his futile flight from home to escape hunger, in search of work as a teenager around the country, only to face further exploitation. In Kolkata in the 1970s, as a young man, he got caught up in the Naxalite movement and took part in gang warfare. His world changed dramatically when he was taught the alphabet in prison at the age of 24 - it drew him into a new, enticing world of books. After prison, he worked as a rickshaw-wallah, and one day the writer Mahasweta Devi happened to be his passenger. It was she who led him to his first publication. Today, as Sipra Mukherjee points out, 'issues of poverty, hunger and violence have exploded the cautiously sewn boundaries of the more affluent world', rendering archaic the comfortable distances between them. Despite 'Chandal' explicitly referring to a Dalit caste, this narrative weaves in and out of the margins. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anindya Chakravorty.

Moon over Soho: Rivers of London, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 635min
I was my dad's vinyl-wallah: I changed his records while he lounged around drinking tea, and that's how I know my Argo from my Tempo. And it's why, when Dr Walid called me to the morgue to listen to a corpse, I recognised the tune it was playing. Something violently supernatural had happened to the victim, strong enough to leave its imprint like a wax cylinder recording. Cyrus Wilkinson, part-time jazz saxophonist and full-time accountant, had apparently dropped dead of a heart attack just after finishing a gig in a Soho jazz club. He wasn't the first. No one was going to let me exhume corpses to see if they were playing my tune, so it was back to old-fashioned legwork, starting in Soho, the heart of the scene. I didn't trust the lovely Simone, Cyrus' ex-lover, professional jazz kitten and as inviting as a Rubens portrait, but I needed her help: there were monsters stalking Soho, creatures feeding off that special gift that separates the great musician from someone who can raise a decent tune. What they take is beauty. What they leave behind is sickness, failure and broken lives.And as I hunted them, my investigation got tangled up in another story: a brilliant trumpet player, Richard 'Lord' Grant - my father - who managed to destroy his own career, twice. That's the thing about policing: most of the time you're doing it to maintain public order. Occasionally you're doing it for justice. And maybe once in a career, you're doing it for revenge.Read by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
