English | ASIN: B0CWS1MS3V | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:42:00 | 212 MB
A searing chronicle of how racist violence became an ingrained facet of policing in the United States.
Contrary to competing popular beliefs, police violence against African Americans has neither remained unchanged since the era of slavery nor is it a recent phenomenon disconnected from the past. In Bluecoated Terror, Jeffrey S. Adler draws on rich archival accounts to show how racialized police brutality is part of a larger system of state oppression with roots in the early twentieth-century South, particularly New Orleans.
Wide racial differentials in the use of lethal force and beatings during arrest and interrogation emerged in the 1930s and 1940s. Adler explains how race control and crime control blended and blurred during this era, when police officers and criminal justice officials began to justify systemic violence against Black people as a crucial-and legal-tool for maintaining law and order.

Author: Holly Trantham, Chelsea Fagan
Narrator: Holly Trantham, Chelsea Fagan
A beautiful, full-color guide to living with money, not for money, packed with fun, tangible advice from the women behind The Financial Diet. The girlboss came in many forms, and she struggled valiantly against our increasing exhaustion at her brand of pinkwashed-capitalism-as-liberation-but it's time to put her to rest. Yes, money is essential to life, and managing it well can be the difference between freedom and constraint. But once you have enough, the focus should be on converting it into things that are meaningful to you: more time with the people you love, more creativity, more days to just vibe on the couch. In Beyond Getting By, the women behind The Financial Diet teach you how to create (and pay for) a life you truly enjoy-and that you can be proud of. They show you how to push beyond what society tells you will make you happy to determine what you actually want, with specific advice and interactive exercises. Beyond Getting By is for the woman interested in a life where money is simply a tool and never a reflection of her worth. It's for the woman who understands the limits of gamifying personal finance, and that following trends isn't the same as creating a sustainable, wealth-generating plan for the future.

Free Download Paul J. Polgar, Marc H. Lerner, Jesse Cromwell, Allyson Johnson (Narrator), "Beyond 1619: The Atlantic Origins of American Slavery"
English | ASIN: B0D3258XWL | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:38:00 | 210 MB
Beyond 1619 brings an Atlantic and hemispheric perspective to the year 1619 as a marker of American slavery's origins and the beginnings of the Black experience in what would become the United States by situating the roots of racial slavery in a broader, comparative context.
In recent years, an extensive public dialogue regarding the long shadow of racism in the United States has pushed Americans to confront the insidious history of race-based slavery and its aftermath, with 1619-the year that the first recorded enslaved persons of African descent arrived in British North America-taking center stage as its starting point. Yet this dialogue has narrowed our understanding of slavery, race, and their repercussions to the U.S. context. Beyond 1619 showcases the results when scholars examine and put into conversation multiple empires, regions, peoples, and cultures to get a more complete view of the rise of racial slavery in the Americas.
Painting racial slavery's emergence on a hemispheric canvas, and in one compact volume, provides historical context beyond the 1619 moment for discussions of slavery, racism, antiracism, freedom, and lasting inequalities. This volume shines new light on these topics and illustrates the centrality of racial slavery, and contests over its rise, in nearly every corner of the early modern Atlantic World.
