  The New Negro - An Interpretation

  Alain Locke

  • 0

  "Of all the voluminous literature on the Negro, so much is mere external view and commentary…We turn therefore in the other direction to the elements of truest social portraiture, and discover in the artistic self-expression of the Negro to-day a new figure on the national canvas and a new force in the foreground of affairs.” 
    
  The New Negro Movement of the 1920s marked a shift in the pursuit of African American equality. African American soldiers were returning home from World War I, and after fighting for freedoms abroad, they were inspired to continue that fight on their own soil. The “old” ways had focused on passively accepting social policies, but the “new” ways would harness their collective voices in defining their own identity. The intellectual and artistic movement of the Harlem Renaissance stirred a tremendous wave of social change. 
    
  The New Negro was edited by Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke, a great intellectual and social visionary who is also considered the father of the Harlem Renaissance. This collection features works from many influential African American writers, such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Countee Cullen. 
    
  Alain Locke dedicates this book to future generations. In keeping with his vision, inAudio is honored to share this audiobook production with an enduring legacy of listeners.

  The story of these beloved bricks and the people who built an empire with them.   From its inception in the early 1930s right up until today, the LEGO Group’s history is as colorful as the toys it makes. Few other playthings share the LEGO brand’s creative spirit, educational benefits, resilience, quality, and universal appeal. This history charts the birth of the LEGO Group from the workshop of a Danish carpenter and its steady growth as a small, family-run toy manufacturer to its current position as a market-leading, award-winning brand. The company’s growing catalogue of products—including the earliest wooden toys, plastic bricks, play themes and other building systems such as DUPLO, Technic, and MINDSTORMS—are chronicled in detail, alongside the manufacturing process, LEGOLAND parks, licensed toys, and computer games.   Learn all about how LEGO pulled itself out of an economic crisis and embraced technology to make building blocks relevant to twenty-first century children, and discover the vibrant fan community of kids and adults whose conventions, websites, and artwork keep the LEGO spirit alive. Building a History will have you reminiscing about old Classic Space sets, rummaging through the attic for forgotten minifigure friends, and playing with whatever LEGO bricks you can get your hands on (even if it means sharing with your kids).

  Why Can’t We All Just Get Along is part-memoir, part-polemic about the state of public discourse in Britain and the world today.  
  In an increasingly divided society, Iain examines why we’ve all become so disrespectful and intolerant. Using experiences from his career in politics and the media, he says it doesn’t have to be this way, and suggests how we can all emerge from tribalism and division and become more respectful to each other and those who govern us. It is a book that is optimistic about the fundamental decencies embedded in human nature and uses deeply personal anecdotes to explain why we can look forward in a positive way to a better life both in personal and material terms. 
  In this top-rated autobiography, Dale delves into the heart of social and political culture, shedding light on the anger and harassment that has become all too common in our society. He offers a unique perspective, drawing from his experiences as one of the most popular journalists in the field. 
  For fans of Dominic Sandbrook (The Rest is History), Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), Gordon Brown (My Life, Our Times), Jess Phillips (Everywoman), and Tim Marshall (Shadowplay).

  Reenactments - Break the...

  Tony Iezzi Ph.D., Melanie P....

  You keep having the same argument. Making the same choice. Reacting the same way, even when you know better. You've read the books. Maybe you've been to therapy. But the patterns keep showing up: at work, in relationships, in the quiet moments when something small sets off something big. 
  There's a reason for that, and it has a name. 
  Reenactments are the brain-body-behavior patterns you developed in response to past experiences, both traumatic and ordinary. They run on autopilot. They shape how you interpret a comment from your partner, a decision at work, or a conflict you can't seem to walk away from. And until you can see them clearly, they keep you stuck. 
  Clinical psychologists Dr. Tony Iezzi and Dr. Melanie P. Duckworth spent 35 years treating patients with complex trauma, chronic pain, and stress-related conditions in hospital and university settings. They watched the same thing happen again and again: people kept repeating patterns they couldn't explain, even after successful treatment. That observation became the foundation of a new clinical framework, one they refined with real patients before writing this book. 
  In this book, you will: 
  Identify the specific reenactment themes (abandonment, control, shame, betrayal, and dozens more) driving your reactions 
  Use the Reenactment Decision Matrix to evaluate your choices in real time: approach, avoid, act, or pause 
  Work through a five-step process to break a reenactment pattern the next time it shows up 
  Build a personal plan for lasting change that goes beyond insight and into action 
  This is not another book that tells you to "just be more mindful." It gives you a concrete, step-by-step system grounded in clinical evidence and tested with real people in real crisis. The case examples are drawn from three decades of frontline work, not hypotheticals. 
  Reenactments is for anyone who is tired of knowing what's wrong but not knowing how to do something different. Get unstuck. Do different, be different.
