    Bob Dylan in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 709min
    One of America’s finest historians shows us how Bob Dylan, one of the country’s greatest and most enduring artists, still surprises and moves us after all these years. Growing up in Greenwich Village, Sean Wilentz discov­ered the music of Bob Dylan as a young teenager; almost half a century later, he revisits Dylan’s work with the skills of an eminent American historian as well as the passion of a fan. Drawn in part from Wilentz’s essays as “historian in residence” of Dylan’s official website, Bob Dylan in America is a unique blend of fact, interpretation, and affinity - a book that, much like its subject, shifts gears and changes shape as the occasion warrants. Beginning with his explosion onto the scene in 1961, this book follows Dylan as he continues to develop a body of musical and literary work unique in our cultural history. Wilentz’s approach places Dylan’s music in the context of its time, including the early influences of Popular Front ideology and Beat aesthetics, and offers a larger critical appreciation of Dylan as both a song­writer and performer down to the present. Wilentz has had unprecedented access to studio tapes, recording notes, rare photographs, and other materials, all of which allow him to tell Dylan’s story and that of such masterpieces as Blonde on Blonde with an unprecedented authenticity and richness. Bob Dylan in America - groundbreaking, comprehensive, totally absorbing - is the result of an author and a subject brilliantly met. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Wilentz.

    The Politicians and the Egalitarians: The Hidden History of American Politics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 760min
    Historian Sean Wilentz presents two key insights that together reveal a clearer, much-needed vision of American political history. First, partisanship has almost always been a feature of American history and in fact has made possible the nation's greatest social reforms. There is little to be gained from a "postpartisan" political world. Second, the recent attention to economic inequality has a long history. From the founders' generation to the present, America's egalitarian tradition has appeared and reappeared like an underground river. This egalitarian tradition has triumphed - in the Civil War and Progressive eras, the New Deal, the Great Society - not through some sort of bipartisan partnership nor through outsiders' vital protests but through contentious yet effective party politics. As he did in The Rise of American Democracy, Wilentz masterfully ties together the key figures and moments of American history to completely refresh our thinking about this nation's political and moral character. ungekürzt.

    No Property in Man: Slavery and Antislavery at the Nation’s Founding , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
    Americans revere the Constitution even as they argue fiercely over its original toleration of slavery. Some historians have charged that slaveholders actually enshrined human bondage at the nation's founding. The acclaimed political historian Sean Wilentz shares the dismay but sees the Constitution and slavery differently. Although the proslavery side won important concessions, he asserts, antislavery impulses also influenced the framers' work. Far from covering up a crime against humanity, the Constitution restricted slavery's legitimacy under the new national government. In time, that limitation would open the way for the creation of an antislavery politics that led to Southern secession, the Civil War, and Emancipation.  Wilentz's controversial and timely reconsideration upends orthodox views of the Constitution. He describes the document as a tortured paradox that abided slavery without legitimizing it. This paradox lay behind the great political battles that fractured the nation over the next 70 years. As Southern Fire-eaters invented a proslavery version of the Constitution, antislavery advocates, including Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, proclaimed antislavery versions based on the framers' refusal to validate what they called "property in man." ungekürzt.

    In Defense of Populism: Protest and American Democracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min
    Contrary to warnings about the dangers of populism, Donald F. Critchlow argues that grassroots activism is essential to party renewal within a democratic system.Grassroots activism, presenting a cacophony of voices calling for reform of various sorts without programmatic coherence, is often derided as populist and distrusted by both political parties and voters. But according to Donald T. Critchlow, grassroots movements are actually responsible for political party transformation, both Democratic and Republic, into instruments of reform that reflect the interests, concerns, and anxieties of the electorate.Contrary to popular discourse warning about the dangers of populism, Critchlow argues that grassroots activism is essential to party renewal within a democratic system. In Defense of Populism examines movements that influenced Republican, Democratic, and third-party politics - from the Progressives and their influence on Teddy Roosevelt, to New Dealers and FDR, to the civil rights, feminist, and environmental movements and their impact on the Democratic Party, to the Reagan Revolution and the Tea Party. In each case, Critchlow narrates representative biographies of activists, party leaders, and presidents to show how movements become viable calls for reform that get translated into policy positions.The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."This is a beautifully researched, important book." (Daily Telegraph)"Critchlow's evenhanded analysis will prove revealing to anyone tired of the name-calling that pervades so much political commentary today." (Washington Examiner)"Nobody should think of either rejecting or embracing the populist mythos without reading this book."

    Interpreting American History: The Age of Andrew Jackson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 258min
    The inaugural volume in a new historiography series Historians possess the power to shape the view of history for those who come after them. Their efforts to illuminate significant events of the past often result in new interpretations, which frequently conflict with ideas proposed by earlier historians. Invariably, this divergence of thoughts creates a dissonance between historians about the causes and meanings of prior events. The Kent State University Press' new Interpreting American History Series aims to help listeners learn how truth emerges from the clash of interpretations present in the study of history. In the series' first volume, Interpreting American History: The Age of Andrew Jackson, experts on Jacksonian America address the changing views of historians over the past century on a watershed era in U.S. history. A two-term president of the United States, Jackson was a powerful leader who widened constitutional boundaries on the presidency, shaping policy himself instead of deferring to the wishes of Congress. The essayists in this volume review the most important issues of the period - including the Corrupt Bargain, Nullification Crisis, Indian Removal Act, and Jacksonian democracy, economics, and reform - and discuss their interpretation over the last hundred years by such historians as Frederick Jackson Turner, Richard Hofstadter, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Sean Wilentz, Robert V. Remini, Daniel Feller, and David Walker Howe. An insightful compilation of essays, Interpreting American History: The Age of Andrew Jackson will acquaint listeners with the 19th century world of Andrew Jackson and the ways in which historians have interpreted his life and times. ungekürzt.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Singing the Revolution, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, when you think about social change, whether it's the 1960's with Civil Rights and the Vietnam War or 1989 with the Berlin Wall and Tiannamen Square, what you remember is the music. This hour, singing the revolution, starting with a voice that truly stands out - Bob Dylan. Historian Sean Wilentz has a new book called Bob Dylan in America, and he tells Jim Fleming the birth of Dylan's music is deeply bound up in the politics of the time. Next, if there is one song more than any other that shimmers with political and emotional resonance, it's "We Shall Overcome." Singer-songwriter Stuart Stotts has written a biography of the song called We Shall Overcome: A Song That Changed the World. He tells Anne Strainchamps his father got him interested in its history.Then, Deb Olin Unferth was swept up in the 80's revolution in Central American out of love. She followed her boyfriend George, converting to Christianity, dropping out of school, and hitting the road. Her book is Revolution and she tells Anne Strainchamps what it was like to be a vocational revolutionary in 1980s Central America.Finally, 1989 has been called "the end of history." It witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of revolution in Eastern Europe and the Tiannamen Square protest in China. Poet and music critic Joshua Clover wrote 1989: Bob Dylan Didn't Have This To Sing About. Steve Paulson asked him to explain the subtitle. [Broadcast Date: January 27, 2012] Language: English.
