Sinossi

"Haitian Revolution" explores the groundbreaking slave rebellion in Saint-Domingue, which led to the establishment of Haiti and challenged colonial power structures globally. The book meticulously examines the political, social, and economic conditions that fueled this uprising. It argues that the Haitian Revolution was not merely a local revolt but a crucial event that forced a re-evaluation of racial and social hierarchies worldwide. The revolution's success demonstrated the potential for enslaved people to overthrow their oppressors, influencing subsequent liberation movements and contributing to the rise of abolitionist movements. The book chronicles the revolution's key stages, from initial uprisings to the declaration of independence in 1804, highlighting the roles of pivotal figures like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. By incorporating primary and secondary sources, including colonial records and eyewitness accounts, the book paints a vivid picture of the era. It analyzes the complex alliances and betrayals involving French, Spanish, and British forces, offering a fresh perspective on the agency of enslaved people and the revolution's global impact. The book connects the Haitian Revolution to various disciplines like postcolonial studies and African diaspora studies, showing its lasting impact on global thought. It also addresses ongoing controversies surrounding the revolution, such as the role of violence and the legacy of its leaders. This comprehensive analysis makes the book a valuable resource for understanding a pivotal moment in world history and its ongoing relevance to contemporary issues of social justice and equality.

    This is not an inspirational memoir. This is not trauma porn. This is a memoir about the forces that impact our lives, both good and bad. 
    Athena Stevens has never learned the name of the doctor whose lack of intervention at her birth lead to her cerebral palsy, but she feels the consequences of his actions – and inaction – every day. The factor observed first and foremost in her life will forever be the effects of what other people have done to her, rather than her accomplishments. And yet, she was groomed to believe that she would overcome any force that stood in her way. 
    A memoir like no other, What’s Done Cannot be Undone takes readers on a whirlwind journey through Athena’s life, providing a profound insight into the realities of moving through the world as a disabled woman. From being born ‘dead’ to co-founding the Women’s Equality Party; from not being picked to play the back of a cow to an Olivier Award nomination, this complex, lyrical, gut-punch of a memoir is laugh-out-loud funny, unrelentingly furious, and a powerful reminder that changing the world singlehandedly is as impossible as defying the laws of physics. 
    In What’s Done Cannot be Undone, Athena Stevens, a renowned figure in the arts and entertainment industry, shares her life story, a compelling mix of autobiography and social commentary. Her memoir is a powerful reminder of the importance of activism and justice in our society.

    Lilli Lehmann, born Elisabeth Maria Lehmann, was a German operatic soprano of phenomenal versatility. She was also a voice teacher.She wrote: "Every serious artist has a sincere desire to help others reach the goal-the goal toward which all singers are striving: to sing well and beautifully." This is the 1915 second (expanded) edition of her book, and the accompanying online book scan includes many illustrations and diagrams, both physiological and musical, which the listener will find useful.Much of Lilli Lehmann's advice is complex and demanding - the standards which she set for herself were beyond the highest aspirations of most professional singers. However, there is still much in this book that is enlightening to all those who are interested in using their voice to best advantage, both in song and the spoken word. (Summary by Ruth Golding and Wikipedia)

    Quando l'audiolibro è donna: io...

    Questo è il primo di una serie di cinque piccoli volumetti sulla mia esperienza con gli audiolibri.Non si tratta di manualistica o del solito metodo miracoloso per far soldi, bensì di vita vissuta, di quello che si tocca con mano davvero e non in ipotesi in questo particolarissimo settore dell'editoria. Una sorta di "case history" a puntate o a episodi su audiolibri e podcast, ma da leggere. Possibilmente con un sorriso.  
    Valerio Di Stefano (1964) è filologo, linguista e ispanista. Siccome non sapeva cosa fare, quindici anni fa è penetrato nella gabbia degli audiolibri e non è più riuscito a uscirne, ma si sta già attrezzando. Come narratore ha pubblicato, tra gli altri, “La voce nel deserto”, “Malinverno”, “Confessione d’un amore fascista”, “La mossa del cavillo” e il recentissimo “Minchia, Signor Tenente!”. In realtà nella vita è padre di Adele Marie e ‘tato’ di Birba che gli ha regalato soltanto dodici cuccioli.
