How to Be a Patriot: Why love of...

Sunder Katwala

How do we define patriotism in a diverse society?What divides us and what brings us together?Why do we feel uncomfortable celebrating our country’s history?
How to be a Patriot offers a new way of understanding our collective identity in a country wracked by division and brimming with markers of selfhood – faith, race, gender, age, sexuality.
Sunder Katwala himself grew up with some questions to work through. As a half-Indian, Irish Catholic child of the NHS, the chequered history of post-imperial Britain seemed very personal to him, but he realised that with that background he could hardly be anything but British, and proud of it too.
His timely and clear-eyed analysis seeks to navigate the many crises of this increasingly disunited kingdom: extremism and integration after 7/7; fear of immigration and the deep divides of Brexit; the resurgence of online racism; and the debate over our cultural heritage. Equipped with a nuanced understanding of the subject and a wealth of supporting data, he sets out to foster a more open and tolerant society: one that welcomes alternative ideas and cultures rather than shutting them out.
Ultimately, How to be a Patriot is a rousing story of lives lived together and shared values. Far from being divisive, it concludes, an inclusive and confident patriotism is a reminder that our differences need not define us.
Sunder Katwala's How to be a Patriot is a top non-fiction book that offers a unique perspective on nationalism and policy. It's a public commentary on the social science of our time, exploring discrimination and ideologies.
For fans of Tony Blair (A Journey), Matthew J. Goodwin (Values, Voice and Virtue), Isabel Hardman (Fighting for Life), Doug Stokes (Against Decolonisation), and Andy Burnham (Head North).

Native American Mythology - The...

Wilson Bellacoola

This audiobook explores Native American mythologies to view the relationships between humans and animals. 
Traditional Native Americans view animals as elder brothers who embody the knowledge sets necessary for survival on this Earth. This vantage point facilitates openness within humans to learn from animals. Animals play the roles of tutelary spirits, helpers, and guides, and sometimes shapeshift from Holy Person to animal or back. This emphasizes the fluidity between the worlds of spirit and matter and highlights animals as oriented toward being helpful to humanity in various ways. As expressed through language and ritual, respect details preserve the relationship between the community, the animals, and the natural landscape. 
Animals push human beings into interiority. The spirits choose a person and then utilize animals to communicate and transmit spiritual understandings and abilities. It is then up to the individual to bring this vision to usefulness on Earth.

The Illuminati

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
There is a sinister and secretive group of people that run the globe. They control everything from the banks to the media. They own the world. They own 99% of the world's wealth and yet are less than 1% of the population. They have special family bloodlines to pass on power from generation to generation. 
 
They have sacred rites and secret rituals. They have a belief system that stretches back in time for thousands of years to their very origin. They spawned the religions, royal families, global business, financial systems and arms companies. They created revolutions and wars on an epic scale. They watch everything we do and manipulate our thoughts and actions. You are in their service and you do not even realise it. They have been doing all of this and more, for thousands of years and they have one goal in sight. 
 
This is the darkest, untold tale of control in the history of mankind. This is the story of what they believe, what they do, how they do it and why. They have many names. But they have one origin and one purpose. And now we have tracked down their symbols, secrets, names, origin and purpose. 
 
Using previously unknown and secret sources we will reveal them. This is the Illuminati.

The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising

Jack Houston

Playful, formal, satirical and tender, the poems in The Fabulanarchist Luxury Uprising are wildly wide-ranging. Jack Houston whisks the reader through meditations on family life, the teachings of Lucretius, the sexual potential of Captain Barnacles, and dreams of a socialist utopia, managing to be both deeply weird and touching.
In his debut pamphlet, Houston draws out and scrutinises the mundanities of life, showing how they can form part of something much bigger. His poems aim to awaken the capacity for revolution within us all, even if it only gets us as far as the roundabout in the local playpark.
"In the year 2121, we're all now too aware that a sofa is simply a bench

constructed from the hewn corpse

of a tree, covered in a mesh made from the amniotic fibres

of oppressedly mono-cropped cotton plants

& filled with the plumage

from many a murdered full-grown duck [...]"

- from 'Utopia'
