  In this deeply moving and transformative audiobook, Dr. Joy Degruy presents a groundbreaking exploration of the enduring effects of slavery and racism on African American identity, behavior, and culture. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome  combines decades of research, historical analysis, and lived experience to unveil how the trauma of slavery has been transmitted across generations - shaping the emotional. psychological, and social landscape of Black communities today. 
  Dr. Degruy introduces the concept of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS) - a condition resulting from centuries of oppression, the absence of opportunity to heal, and the continued presence of systemic racism. Through compelling storytelling, she reveals how this intergenerational trauma manifests in patterns of low self-esteem, internalized racism, and anger - yet she also shows that these patterns are not immutable. With compassion and clarity, Degruy guides listeners towards understanding the deep historical roots of these challenges while emphasizing the extraordinary resilience, creativity, and strength that have allowed African Americans to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. 
  Whether you are a student of history, a mental health professional, or simply a listener seeking to understand America's unfinished journey toward justice, this audiobook will leave you informed, challenged and ultimately inspired to be part of the healing.

  Theft of India The: The European...

  In the three centuries that followed Vasco da Gama's discovery of the sea route from Europe to India, European powers made a beeline for India's fabled riches, its spices, gold and gems. Though they ostensibly came for trade and commerce, and the thrill of discovering a new land, the lines between exploration and exploitation soon blurred. The Theft of India documents the intense rivalry for spoils that played out between the British, the French, the Dutch and the Portuguese, and the impact this had on the Indians. Roy Moxham's work, though, is no dry study of textual materials. He supplements these accounts with an exhaustive study of academic works on the subject. The result is an unflattering picture of the 'civilized' West as it systematically strips India of its riches. The Theft of India is a nuanced, important and highly readable addition to the study of imperialism and its dehumanizing effects on the colonized.

  Fortress Britain 1940 -...

  Alone, unprepared, and weak. These are generally the words used to describe Britain's position in 1940, part of a narrative that has been built up ever since the end of World War II. However, the reality is very different. On land, sea, and in the air, Britain was prepared. It had the most powerful navy in the world; the RAF was relatively strong, but more importantly, was operating as part of a plan and a joined-up group system that was in reality never in any real danger of being defeated; even the post-Dunkirk British Army was better armed than the post-war narrative tells us. These forces were backed up by the Home Guard, and thousands of men and women in secret roles ready to help fight the invasion of the country. Even if all of this had gone wrong and the Nazis had defeated Britain militarily then a separate, highly secret civilian group were ready to become active only after the occupation had started. 
   
   
   
  One word associated more than any other during this period of the Second World War is 'alone'—Churchill played upon this in his speeches but in 1940, Britain had a hugely powerful empire. Although in many cases this support was thousands of miles away, the Empire and other Allies would have played a huge role had the Germans had invaded, one that has been overlooked in many accounts.
