This is what we have to deal with as American Africans in America. It does not matter if you are rich or famous, a politician, doctor, lawyer, preacher, and or a teacher, the reality of the grind is presented to you every time you wake up and walk out your door. Whether you are going to work, a a restaurant, or a vacation, the grind follows you. The grind of racism that exist in America against American Africans.

Everyone got married in the 1950s, then started to produce the soon-to-be-famous baby boom. For Americans who had survived the Great Depression and World War II, prosperous married life was a triumph. The unwed were objects of pity, scorn, even suspicion. Women over twenty-three were consider old maids. But Eva Eldridge— who’d left the farm for a job in a wartime shipyard where she made a hasty and disastrous marriage—finds herself left out. Now in her thirties and marginally employed, she is the perfect target for handsome Vick, who promises everything.

Taking on this story of heart and hardship, award-winning journalist Brian Reisinger weaves forgotten eras of American history with his own family’s four-generation fight for survival in Midwestern farm country. Listeners learn the truth about America’s most detrimental and unexplained socioeconomic crisis: How the family farms that feed us went from cutting a middle-class path through the Great Depression to barely making ends meet in modern America.

Impassioned antislavery rhetoric made antebellum Boston famous as the nation’s hub of radical abolitionism. In fact, the city was far from a beacon of equality. In No Right to an Honest Living, historian Jacqueline Jones reveals how Boston was the United States writ small—a place where the soaring rhetoric of egalitarianism was easy, but justice in the workplace was elusive. Highlighting the everyday struggles of ordinary Black workers, this book shows how injustice in the workplace prevented Boston—and the United States—from securing true equality for all.

Burnt by Democracy traces the political ascendance of neoliberalism and its effects on youth. The book explores democracy and citizenship as described in interviews with over forty young people–ages 16 to 30–who have either experienced homelessness or identify as an activist, living in five liberal democracies: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Modern Britain has seen an insidious rise in Islamophobia on both the right and the left. From misleading media stories like the Trojan Horse Affair in Birmingham's schools to the hatred directed at Muslim politicians and public figures during the Gaza conflict, this prejudice has gone frighteningly unchecked. In Muslims Don't Matter, Conservative peer, campaigner and podcaster Sayeeda Warsi unapologetically challenges the consensus, argues passionately that bigotry should never pass the dinner table test and urges Britain to change course.

Staying Power is a panoramic history of black Britons. Stretching back to the Roman conquest, encompassing the court of Henry VIII, and following a host of characters from Mary Seacole to the abolitionist Olaudah Equiano, Peter Fryer paints a picture of two thousand years of Black presence in Britain. First published in the 80s, amidst race riots and police brutality, Fryer's history performed a deeply political act; revealing how Africans, Asians and their descendants had long been erased from British history.

Die Welt, in der wir leben, ist kompliziert und vielen Menschen fremd geworden. Immer mehr Gruppen, von denen wir früher wenig bis nichts hörten, drängen in die Öffentlichkeit, um für ihre Anliegen zu werben oder gar der Gesellschaft vorzuschreiben, was sie zu tun hat. Wie kann der Erfolg dieser sogenannten Identitätspolitik erklärt werden? Und wie sollte die Kirche darauf reagieren? Der Historiker Carl R. Trueman zeigt in diesem Buch auf verständliche Weise, welche Einflüsse unsere Kultur in die Richtung eines expressiven Individualismus bewegt haben.

El movimiento feminista actual tiene un punto ciego y, paradójicamente, son las mismas mujeres. La mayoría de las feministas rara vez hablan de la satisfacción de las necesidades básicas como una cuestión feminista, pero la inseguridad alimentaria, el acceso a una educación de calidad, los barrios seguros, un salario digno y la atención médica son también cuestiones relacionadas. El hecho de que muchas feministas se nieguen a dar prioridad a estas cuestiones no ha hecho más que exacerbar las discordias internas.

In una società in cui si sono dissolte le strutture tradizionali della parentela e della famiglia, uomini e donne si trovano costretti a darsi individualmente le regole della loro vita: ciascuno è il giudice delle proprie trasgressioni, il prete che assolve i propri peccati e il terapeuta che indaga e cura le ferite del proprio passato. La lotta per conciliare famiglia e carriera, amore e matrimonio, e per una "nuova" genitorialità ha oggi sostituito la lotta "di classe".

In our modern world, our lives are driven by the latest media: public and private. Their continuous influence on every aspect of our lives leaves us with little to no chance of deciding what really matters. That is, the personal individual and or group decision-making in what matters most, the preservation and expressions of singularity and group identity. This book is an inspiration to adults who can make a difference in their attitude to make a difference among themselves and improve social areas and a better relationship among us, the great and larger human family.

Pappas & Morin expose the root causes such as liberal ideology, helicopter parenting, millennial mentality, and poor moral development in those that help perpetuate the syndrome including the democrat leftwing media and entertainment industries, biased university professors, and dedicated Marxists, who use the tools of PC cancel culture, wokeism, and gaslighting, and how it has been impacting America and beyond.

Big Timber, Montana is one of the windiest towns in one of the windiest states in the country. Arctic chinooks and slashing westerlies howl down from the Crazy Mountains like a pack of coyotes. Most locals learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. Like his pioneer ancestors who staked their claims in the Treasure State, he believed in his right to make a living off the land—and a newly precious resource, its million-dollar wind. The trouble was, Jarrett’s neighbors were some of the wealthiest and most well-connected men in America.
