After listening to the book I realize of course black people were involved in country music and it started way way before lîl N’as . I found it very interesting even though I am not a country music fan.

Interesting how California has always had the label of a free state from the beginning but in reality not so much. Well researched and fascinating. Well done!

Lots of information new to me on how ‘failure of emancipation’ and recompense to enslavers took place in different countries. Expanded my knowledge of who worked to perpetuate the status quo and who worked with less success to try to make it right for the enslaved their descendants.

Informative regarding journey of present day native Americans (females in particular) and the root cause of their problems. Eye opening Indigenous perspective on navigating systemic colonial based barriers to personal safety, economic survival, cultural preservation and family unity for non-‘whites’

Tried it because it was a library staff favorite and it was on sale. If you like porn and fantasy, this one’s for you.

Thank you Audible and the producers of this audiobook! Excellent narration of a story well told. There has been much talk of Tulsa massacre lately but the MOVE tragedy happened in my adult lifetime and I never heard of it. Also didn’t know that Live Aid and Farm Aid have continued their work all these years. Good on ya for bring two important stories to life!

Beautiful expressive language. Masterful weaving of a story. Fascinating peek into the lives of afghani women, refugees and tumultuous regime changes.

This is an expansive scholarly work offering in depth, well researched insights and perspectives. An invaluable addition to Black history literature. Narrator is great, especially when rendering direct quotes.

Does a great job of bringing known and little known stories to life and correlating them to today’s world. Some narration was good. Many could be better. I Kendi’s pressured speaking style is especially difficult to listen to. Good readers may consider going straight to the printed version.

Great approachable rendition of recent medical discoveries and research bring them to the mainstream. Absolutely too much minute by minute recounting of patient experiences. Slows down momentum and makes you wish you had a print version.
