Story4.5 out of 5 stars 70
Beginning with pre-Revolutionary America and moving into the movement for Black lives and contemporary Indigenous activism, Afro-Indigenous historian Kyle T. Mays argues that the foundations of the US are rooted in anti-Blackness and settler colonialism, and that these parallel oppressions continue into the present. He explores how Black and Indigenous peoples have always resisted and struggled for freedom, sometimes together, and sometimes apart.

Excellent Historical Overview
Reviewed: 07-04-24
Great historical overview. The author has lived experience being Black and Indigenous and combines histories in an understandable and useful way.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 80
Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon, and Black Skin, White Masks represents some of his most important work. Fanon's masterwork is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of listeners. A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world.

Awaking Psychoanalysis of Colonization
Reviewed: 11-09-23
Fanon does an excellent psychoanalysis of colonialism and racism in the unconscious as a result of societal systems. It is relevant to this day and age and truly awakens underlying content in the psyche. It is deep and rich in meaning.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 322
There is an obesity epidemic in this country, and poor Black women are particularly stigmatized as "diseased" and a burden on the public health-care system. This is only the most recent incarnation of the fear of fat Black women, which Sabrina Strings shows took root more than 200 years ago.

The hidden historical facts about fat-shaming, race, class, and the the United States. It is shocking but not surprising. Things have not changed much, unfortunately.
The speaker is monotone.

Modern Man in Search of a Soul is the classic introduction to the thought of Carl Jung. Along with Freud and Adler, Jung was one of the chief founders of modern psychiatry. In this book, Jung examines some of the most contested and crucial areas in the field of analytical psychology: dream analysis, the primitive unconscious, and the relationship between psychology and religion.

- Modern Man in Search of a Soul

Brilliant and still relevant to modern man today
Reviewed: 01-20-21
Jung has captured the nature of humanity and Western man’s struggle. The material is relatively timeless.
I liked the narrator because with complicated subjects you don’t want to be distracted by the voice. He speaks clearly, but a warning, somewhat robotic.

I absolutely loved this book. A plus is that Michelle Obama narrates on Audible. She humanizes her and Barack, while at the same time giving inspirational and practical advice to the struggles of minority and underprivileged groups. Her honesty and balance is refreshing and so relevant to our times.
