    Black Widow in a Pure White Dress: Notorious USA, Mississippi , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    Another in the New York Times best-selling series, Notorious USA. True crime author Stephanie Cook takes a fresh look at some of Mississippi's most infamous crimes. In the title case an affluent Southern heart surgeon strikes up a doomed affair with his much younger nurse, Stephanie Stephens, only to wind up dead after their walk down the aisle. Other cases include the infamous 1930s "legs" murder mystery, in which a wealthy widow was butchered by her own doting daughter, Ouida Keeton; the tragic murder of Avis Banks, a daycare worker whose death led back to her cheating fiancé and his murderous lover, a middle school teacher and cheer coach named Carla Hughes; and the tale of Jeffrey Havard, on death row for the death of his girlfriend's six-month old baby after a frustrating descent into Mississippi's tangled legal system. Havard's conviction is one of several now being questioned because of new science on Shaken Baby Syndrome. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pierce.

    The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 885min
    A shocking and deeply reported account of the persistent plague of institutional racism and junk forensic science in our criminal justice system, and its devastating effect on innocent lives After two 3-year-old girls were raped and murdered in rural Mississippi, law enforcement pursued and convicted two innocent men: Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks. Together they spent a combined 30 years in prison before finally being exonerated in 2008. Meanwhile, the real killer remained free. The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist recounts the story of how the criminal justice system allowed this to happen, and of how two men, Dr. Steven Hayne and Dr. Michael West, built successful careers on the back of that structure. For nearly two decades, Hayne, a medical examiner, performed the vast majority of Mississippi's autopsies, while his friend Dr. West, a local dentist, pitched himself as a forensic jack-of-all-trades. Together they became the go-to experts for prosecutors and helped put countless Mississippians in prison. But then some of those convictions began to fall apart. Here, Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington tell the haunting story of how the courts and Mississippi's death investigation system - a relic of the Jim Crow era - failed to deliver justice for its citizens. The authors argue that bad forensics, structural racism, and institutional failures are at fault, raising sobering questions about our ability and willingness to address these crucial issues.  ungekürzt.

    The Free State of Jones: Mississippi's Longest Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 467min
    Actor Mahershala Ali (House of Cards, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) performs the gripping tale of an armed band of Confederate deserters and slaves living in a mixed-race community who rose up against the Confederate Cavalry in 1863 to form their own republic, free of slavery, in what is now the state of Mississippi. The community they formed - and the ambiguous racial identity of their descendants - confounded the rules of the segregated South well into the 20th century. In bridging the gap between the legendary and the real Free State of Jones, author Victoria Bynum unwraps the legend - what was told, what was embellished, and what was left out. ungekürzt.

    Slavery and Frontier Mississippi, 1720-1835 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    In the popular imagination, the picture of slavery, frozen in time, is one of huge cotton plantations and opulent mansions. However, in over a hundred years of history detailed in this book, the hard reality of slavery in Mississippi's antebellum world is strikingly different from the one of popular myth. It shows that Mississippi's past was never frozen, but always fluid. It shows too that slavery took a number of shapes before its form in the late antebellum mold became crystalized for popular culture. The colonial French introduced African slaves into this borderlands region situated on the periphery of French, Spanish, and English empires. In this frontier, planter society made unsuccessful attempts to produce tobacco, lumber, and indigo. Slavery outlasted each failed harvest. Through each era plantation culture rode the back of a system far removed from the romantic stereotype. Almost simultaneously as Mississippi became a United States territory in the 1790s, cotton became the cash crop. The booming King Cotton economy changed Mississippi and adapted the slave system that was its foundation. Some Mississippi slaves resisted this grim oppression and rebelled by flight, work slowdowns, arson, and conspiracies. In 1835 a slave conspiracy in Madison County provoked such draconian response among local slave holders that planters throughout the state redoubled the iron locks on the system. Race relations in the state remained radicalized for many generations to follow. Beginning with the arrival of the first African slaves in the colony and extending over 115 years, this book is the first such history since Charles Sydnor's Slavery in Mississippi (1933). David J. Libby, an independent scholar, lives in San Antonio, Texas. His work has been published in CrossRoads: A Journal of Southern Culture. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary B. Roelofs. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/009337/bk_acx0_009337_sample.mp3.
