  Uncivil Rites: Palestine and the Limits of Academic Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min

  In the summer of 2014, renowned American Indian studies professor Steven Salaita had his appointment to a tenured professorship revoked by the board of trustees of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Salaita's employment was terminated in response to his public tweets criticizing the Israeli government's summer assault on Gaza. Salaita's firing generated a huge public outcry, with thousands petitioning for his reinstatement, and more than 5,000 scholars pledging to boycott UIUC. His case raises important questions about academic freedom, free speech on campus, and the movement for justice in Palestine. In this book, Salaita combines personal reflection and political critique to shed new light on his controversial termination. He situates his case at the intersection of important issues that affect both higher education and social justice activism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tristan Morris.

  Time on Two Crosses: The Collected Writings of Bayard Rustin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 839min

  Bayard Rustin (1912 to1987), the famed openly gay African American organizer, taught Martin Luther King Jr. strategies of nonviolence during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, thereby launching the birth of the civil rights movement in 1955. Widely acclaimed as a founding father of modern black protest, in 1963 Rustin reached his pinnacle of notoriety as organizer of the March on Washington. His open homosexuality, however, remained a point of contention among black church leaders, with controversy sometimes embroiling even King himself. Time on Two Crosses showcases the extraordinary career of this black gay civil rights pioneer. Spanning five decades, the book combines classic texts ranging in topic from Gandhi's impact on African Americans, white supremacists in Congress, the antiwar movement, and the assassination of Malcolm X. Historical black-and-white photographs are included in this insider's account of the civil rights movement. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Crisden.

  Sterling Biographies: Martin Luther King Jr. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 164min

  I have a dream." Those rousing words, spoken by Martin Luther King, Jr. at an historic civil rights rally in Washington, D.C., brought hope to those who listened: hope that in the future there might not be two Americas - one black and one white - but instead a country united, with justice for all. Here is King's inspiring story, which began in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929 and came to a tragic end on April 4, 1968 when an assassin fatally shot him. The pastor of a small Baptist church in Montgomery, Alabama, King became the driving force of the civil rights movement when he led a black boycott of the city's bus lines. His philosophy of nonviolence, and his breathtaking eloquence, helped free African Americans from decades of oppression and finally won them the rights - and opportunities - they deserved. ungekürzt.

  Asylum Denied: A Refugee’s Struggle for Safety in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 789min

  Asylum Denied is the gripping story of political refugee David Ngaruri Kenney's harrowing odyssey through the world of immigration processing in the United States. Kenney, while living in his native Kenya, led a boycott to protest his government's treatment of his fellow farmers. He was subsequently arrested and taken into the forest to be executed. This audiobook, told by Kenney and his lawyer, Philip G. Schrag, from Kenney's own perspective, tells of his near-murder, imprisonment, and torture in Kenya; his remarkable escape to the United States; and the obstacle course of ordeals and proceedings he faced as U.S. government agencies sought to deport him to Kenya. A story of courage, love, perseverance, and legal strategy, Asylum Denied brings to life the human costs associated with our immigration laws and suggests reforms that are desperately needed to help other victims of human rights violations. ungekürzt.

  Nazi Games: The Olympics of 1936 (eBook, ePUB)

  Athletics and politics collide in a critical event for Nazi Germany and the contemporary world. The torch relay—that staple of Olympic pageantry—first opened the summer games in 1936 in Berlin. Proposed by the Nazi Propaganda Ministry, the relay was to carry the symbolism of a new Germany across its route through southeastern and central Europe. Soon after the Wehrmacht would march in jackboots over the same terrain. The Olympic festival was a crucial part of the Nazi regime's mobilization of power. Nazi Games offers a superb blend of history and sport. The narrative includes a stirring account of the international effort to boycott the games, derailed finally by the American Olympic Committee and the determination of its head, Avery Brundage, to participate. Nazi Games also recounts the dazzling athletic feats of these Olympics, including Jesse Owens's four gold-medal performances and the marathon victory of Korean runner Kitei Son, the Rising Sun of imperial Japan on his bib.

  Mavericks, Money, and Men: The AFL, Black Players, and the Evolution of Modern Football , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min

  The American Football League, established in 1960, was innovative both in its commitment to finding talented, overlooked players - particularly those who played for historically black colleges and universities - and in the decision by team owners to share television revenues. In Mavericks, Money and Men, football historian Charles Ross chronicles the AFL's key events, including Buck Buchanan becoming the first overall draft pick in 1963, and the 1965 boycott led by black players who refused to play in the AFL All Star game after experiencing blatant racism. He also recounts how the success of the AFL forced a merger with the NFL in 1969, which arguably facilitated the evolution of modern professional football. Ross shows how the league, originally created as a challenge to the dominance of the NFL, pressured for and ultimately accelerated the racial integration of pro football and also allowed the sport to adapt to how African Americans were themselves changing the game. The book is published by Temple University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Woods. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/070069/bk_acx0_070069_sample.mp3.

  Linker Antisemitismus?

  »Linker Antisemitismus« lässt sich als Diagnose sowohl in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften der Linken selbst finden, aber auch in politik- wie geschichtswissenschaftlichen Schriften und Verfassungsschutzorganen. Er ist als Phänomen so wenig zu leugnen wie als begriffliches Konstrukt unbefriedigend. Bedroht vom Verdikt des »linken Antisemitismus« ist jeder, der den Kapitalismus »personalisiert«, ihn einer verkürzten Kritik aussetze und zu Verschwörungsdenken neige. Nicht zuletzt wird ein »linker Antisemitismus« in der Boykottkampagne gegen Israel (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions - BDS) ausgemacht. Demnach würde diese Israelkritik eine versteckte Form des Hasses auf Jüdinnen und Juden darstellen.Aus dem Skandal, dass sich auch in der Linken Antisemiten tummeln, dass im linken und sozialrevolutionären Denken und Handeln der Antisemitismus nicht vollständig ausgeschlossen war und ist, aus diesem Skandal, der die besten Polemiker wie Eike Geisel, den frühen Wolfgang Pohrt, ja vielleicht selbst einen Henryk M. Broder einst auf den Plan rief, ist ein Allgemeinplatz geworden, eine verdinglichte Größe, deren Existenz mehr beschworen und schlicht geglaubt wird als analysiert und begriffen.Mit Texten von Ilse Bindseil, Gerhard Hanloser, Peter Menne, Markus Mohr, Karl Reitter, Karin Wetterau und Moshe Zuckermann.
