    Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 530min
    From the heroic lawyer who spoke out against Clarence Thomas in the historic confirmation hearings 20 years ago. At the historic Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, Anita Hill spoke out courageously about workplace sexual harassment. Now she turns to the topic of home. As our country reels from the subprime mortgage meltdown and the resulting devastation of so many families and communities, Hill takes us inside this “crisis of home” and exposes its deep roots in race and gender inequities, which continue to imperil every American’s ability to achieve the American Dream.  In this period of recovery and its aftermath, what is at stake is the inclusive democracy the Constitution promises. The achievement of that ideal, Hill argues, depends on each American’s ability to secure a place that provides access to every opportunity our country offers. Building on the great strides of the women’s and civil rights movements, Hill presents concrete proposals that encourage us to broaden our thinking about home and to reimagine equality for America’s future. ungekürzt.

    The Death of Liberty: The Socialist Destruction of America's Freedoms Using the Income Tax , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
    In 1776, the colonists declared Independence from England in large part due to the many onerous acts thrust upon them by parliament, including the stamp act in 1765 and the tea act in 1773. With the combination of these burdensome Acts on the colonies, coupled with “Intolerable Acts” that severely limited the colonists Liberties, America rebelled. America won her liberty finally in 1783, only to see American’s freedoms put in a permanent state of peril with the successful progressive class warfare argument that resulted in the 16th Amendment in 1913.The legacy of the IRS is one of scandals, malfeasance, criminality, incompetence and terror - yet Americans, for the most part tolerate it. Why? The history of IRS abuses of common citizens is legendary, and the stories you will read in this book are chilling.Surely Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and Samuel Adams would have never let such an abusive form of government exist in the United States. Why do we? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Marshall. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/152291/bk_acx0_152291_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    In the Cemetery of the Orange Trees , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 285min
    In the mode of J. M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians and Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, In the Cemetery of the Orange Trees engages poetic language, mythic themes, and childlike perspectives to offer an original approach to a conflict that has become hardened and polarized. These linked stories of an American’s experience in Gaza expose the seven-decade long Palestinian diaspora in a disquieting allegory of the clash between the occupied and the occupier.In a place where political posturing, bloody war, journalistic witness, and even patient negotiation have yielded so little understanding, we enter the cemetery of the orange trees, where urchins kite dead birds, goats utter wisdom, camels and donkeys huddle together, and merchandise magically passes underground through the tunnels of Gaza. But this is no fairy tale or bestiary. In the Cemetery of the Orange Trees is a waking, attentive dream-journal, leading us back to a place where hatred, strife, and even human language itself might sing.Jeff Talarigo is the author of two novels: The Pearl Diver and The Ginseng Hunter. He has lived in Gaza and Japan, and currently resides in Oakland, California. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ross Klavan.
