Casa editrice: e-artnow

Sinossi

Up from Slavery & Working With the Hands are two autobiographical works of Booker T. Washington and they offer a profound exploration of the life and legacy of a prominent American educator and advocate.
In his autobiography, "Up from Slavery," Washington recounts his remarkable journey from enslavement during the Civil War to becoming a leading figure in education. The narrative details his struggles to attain an education at the Hampton Institute and the subsequent establishment of vocational schools, including the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Washington's autobiography not only reflects on his personal challenges but also highlights the broader mission of providing practical, marketable skills to Black and Native Americans. Emphasizing the philosophy of self-reliance, he shares insights into the transformative power of education, gratitude for the generosity of teachers and philanthropists, and efforts to instill manners, breeding, health, and dignity in students. The educational philosophy advocated by Washington integrates academic subjects with hands-on trade skills, empowering individuals to uplift themselves and their communities.
The sequel, "Working With the Hands," delves deeper into Washington's experiences in industrial training at Tuskegee. This continuation provides a nuanced perspective on the practical application of his educational philosophy, showcasing the importance of acquiring skills that contribute to economic self-sufficiency.
Together, these autobiographical works encapsulate Washington's enduring commitment to education, economic empowerment, and the advancement of marginalized communities. The narratives serve as an inspiring testament to resilience, perseverance, and the transformative impact of education on individuals and society.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, Caroline Criado Perez explores the pervasive gender data gap and its profound consequences for women. The book reveals how the world is designed around male norms and how this systematic exclusion of female experiences and perspectives has detrimental effects on women's lives in a variety of spheres. Criado Perez uses meticulous research and compelling anecdotes to illustrate how this bias manifests in everything from urban planning and transportation to healthcare and technology. The book argues that this invisibility of women in data leads to policies, products, and services that fail to meet women's needs and often put their health and safety at risk.

Skewed: How Bias Distorts Our...

Caryn Franklin MBE, Professor...

An Original Audiobook Production by W. F. Howes, written and presented by Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West, with special guests.

• How do news outlets choose which crimes to report on – and does it matter?
• What do Disney films teach us about who is good and who is dangerous?
• Can adverts really change how we think and behave?

Underpinning these questions looms the spectre of bias; the hidden force that frames our thinking and skews the facts. This provocative audio original will have you rethinking everything from pornography and pop music to children’s books and fashion.
Tackling the complex subject of bias head on, Skewed investigates the hidden messages we absorb from birth. Looking closely at what the research can tell us, Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West explain how our inner worlds are shaped by false information, media trends, and the brain’s preference for patterns and stereotypes. Exploring biases around gender, sexuality, race, age and appearance, Caryn and Keon explain how bias impacts all of our lives.
Through conversations with a diverse range of voices - from cognitive psychologists to activists and entertainers – Caryn and Keon offer a vision for an alternative future; a world in which we recognise and manage bias, and one in which diversity and difference can truly flourish.
Guest interviews include campaigner and life coach Michelle Elman, author academic and drag artist Cheddar Gorgeous, creative director and campaigner Trevor Robinson, forensic psychologist Dr Dominic Willmott and many more.
