How John Wilkes Booth Assassinated Abraham Lincoln , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 209min
Abraham Lincoln was strangely happy for the first time in years. The war was almost over. He could put the crisis behind him; when this term was over, he could return home to Springfield. Maybe he would go back to his legal practice with William Herndon, or perhaps he would buy a farm along the Sangamon River and become a gentleman farmer. Everyone noticed the change. For John Wilkes Booth, it was exactly the opposite. His world was crumbling all around him. The Confederate government abandoned the city of Richmond, Virginia on April 3, 1865. Six days later General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. To the 26-year-old Booth, everything appeared lost. The only hope left for the South was for someone to make a strike so bold, so daring, and so outrageous, it would turn the tide of defeat into victory. What made it worse was the impromptu speech Lincoln gave at the White House on the night of April 11, 1865. It confirmed Booth’s greatest fear - Lincoln was a crazed “nigger” lover. Why else would he advocate giving former slaves the vote? After listening to the President’s talk, Booth edged closer to David Herold, and snarled, “That means nigger citizenship. Now, by God, I’ll run him through.” It was unacceptable. It ran against every belief Booth held. Someone had to stop Lincoln before he made a total mockery of the country. The only questions left to decide were - when, and where? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles McKibben. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/125011/bk_acx0_125011_sample.mp3.

Der Niemand von der »Narcissus«
Joseph Conrads dritter Roman erschien in den USA und in Großbritannien mit unterschiedlichen Titeln: In New York veröffentlichte man ihn 1897 als "The Children of the Sea"; gegenüber seinem Londoner Verlag aber setzte sich Conrad 1898 mit dem damals von ihm bevorzugten Titel durch, und die Geschichte einer dramatischen Überfahrt von Bombay nach London erhielt den Namen, der ihre Rezeption bis heute zum Dilemma macht: "The Nigger of the Narcissus". Der rassistischen Bezeichnung zum Trotz bürgt die Hauptfigur, der hünenhafte Matrose Jimmy Wait, für ihr Gegenteil: das würdevoll Menschliche in jedem Einzelnen, gleich welcher Hautfarbe, Religion und sozialen Stellung. Mit seiner brillanten Neuübersetzung wagt Mirko Bonné den Versuch, dieses literarische Großereignis und Zeugnis der Kameradschaft auf See endlich auch einer heutigen Leserschaft zugänglich zu machen.- Shop: buecher

The N Word: Who Can Say It, Who Shouldn't, and Why , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 564min
In The N Word, a renowned cultural critic untangles the twisted history and future of racism through its most volatile word.In 2003, the book Nigger started an intense conversation about the uses and implications of that epithet. The N Word moves beyond that short, provocative book by revealing how the word has both reflected and spread the scourge of bigotry in America.Asim claims that even when uttered by hipsters and hip-hop icons, the slur helps keep blacks at the bottom of America's socioeconomic ladder. But he also proves there is a place for this word in the mouths and on the pens of those who truly understand its twisted history: from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle to Mos Def. Only when we know its legacy can we loosen this slur's grip on our national psyche. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.

The Emasculation of the American Negro: The Systematic Exploitation, Domination, and Suppression of the American Negro , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min
From the inception of the United States, the American Negro has been on an insidious path of social, culture and collective public and private genocide and emasculation by the American system. One famous American Negro called it a public lynching. Through the years, the American Negro has been called nigger, colored, boy, Black, nigga, house nigga and African American. Yet, with all of these culturally accepted names, the American Negro is still a Negro! Today, a few Negroes have received some fame and fortune but as soon as they step out of their position, the status quo puts them back in their place with public lynching in the media. The status quo has used intimidation, domination and exploitation to continue the systematic process of emasculation and genocide of the American Negro male. How can an American Negro be called African-American when 99% have never been to Africa? The American Negro is a culturally constructed image of the darker pigmented skin people of America. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Armand Hutton.

Hard Driving: The Wendell Scott Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
Hard Driving is the dramatic story of one man's dogged determination to live the life he loved, and to compete, despite daunting obstacles, at the highest level of his sport. Wendell Scott figured he was signing up for trouble when he became NASCAR's version of Jackie Robinson in the segregated 1950s. Some speedways refused to let him race. ''Go home, nigger,'' spectators yelled. And after a bigoted promoter refused to pay him, Scott appealed directly to the sport's founder, NASCAR czar Bill France Sr. France made a promise Scott would never forget, that NASCAR would never treat him with prejudice. For the next two decades, Scott chased a dream whose fulfillment depended on France backing up that promise. Persevering through crashes, health problems, and money troubles, Scott remained convinced he had the talent to become one of NASCAR's best. Hard Driving documents a previously untold chapter in the history of integration, politics, and sports in America. It reveals how France, founder of the multibillion-dollar NASCAR empire, reneged on his pledge and allowed repeated discrimination against Scott by racing officials and other powerful figures. It details France's alliances with leading segregationist politicians, such as George Wallace; the reluctance of auto executives, such as Lee Iacocca, to sponsor a black driver; and the inspiring support Scott received from white drivers, such as nascar champions Ned Jarrett and Richard Petty, who admired his skill and tenacity. ungekürzt.
