Sinopse

In "America the Beautiful," Robert Pollock delivers a stirring celebration of America through the eyes of those who chose to make it their home. This powerful collection weaves together historical context with contemporary immigrant narratives, creating a tapestry that highlights the enduring appeal of American ideals.
 
Pollock's narrative takes readers on a journey from America's founding principles through the waves of immigration that have shaped the nation. Through personal interviews and historical accounts, immigrants share their struggles, triumphs, and the obstacles they overcame to build successful lives. Their stories reveal a common thread – appreciation for America's opportunities, freedom, and the chance for self-determination.
 
The book doesn't shy away from addressing America's challenges, including cultural tensions and political divisions, but ultimately presents an optimistic view of the country's founding values. Pollock examines how immigrants have contributed to America's prosperity while embracing its core principles, and sounds a call to preserve these fundamental ideals for future generations.
 
Part historical narrative, part contemporary testimony, "America the Beautiful" offers a timely reminder of what continues to draw people from around the world to American shores, and why these principles remain worth protecting in an increasingly divided era.
 
If you enjoyed "The Dying Citizen" by Victor Davis Hanson, "A Nation of Immigrants" by John F. Kennedy, and "Coming to America" by Roger Daniels, you'll love "America the Beautiful: As Seen Through the Eyes of Its Immigrants."

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Many doctors in Germany were convinced that they were the chosen people to create a healthy, racially pure Volkskörper (body of people) and by doing so, establish a racial utopia. As strong supporters of National Socialism, they welcomed the founding of the Third Reich. After Hitler acceded to power, German physicians joined the SS in particular. During the twelve years of the Nazi era, seven percent of German doctors became members of the SS. The average membership of the population was only 0.6 percent. Moreover, doctors were also overrepresented as a profession, with teachers consisting of less than half a percent and musicians only three percent. Only lawyers had a larger share in the SS than doctors. 
    The average income of German doctors increased extremely after 1933, even exceeding the income of lawyers. The Nazi doctors of the human experiments also joined the SS in large numbers. German doctors were far more reluctant to join the NSDAP than the SS. Before 1933, only seven percent of all German doctors joined the NSDAP (Nazi party). They joined the party when it seemed opportune to do so, in 1933, and particularly in 1937. In 1933, physicians made up almost a quarter of all academic professionals in the NSDAP. Most doctors joined the NSDAP in 1937, with a membership rate of 43 percent of the total profession. German physicians sat on the fence during the first years of the Nazi era, insecure about the effects of the new regime on their profession. By 1937, the Third Reich had won the trust of several reasons. The NSDAP had solved the economic crisis and had reorganized the medical profession. Moreover, the regime had solved “the Jewish question” in the medical sector.

    Exploitation is a fundamental aspect of human interaction, often driven by power imbalances and self-interest. It occurs when one party takes unfair advantage of another for personal or institutional gain, frequently at the expense of the exploited party’s well-being. While exploitation can be overt and aggressive, it is often subtle and embedded within social, economic, and political structures, making it difficult to recognize and address. The nature of exploitation is complex, as it is not always illegal or socially condemned, yet it can have profound ethical implications. 
    Throughout history, exploitation has manifested in various forms, from forced labor and colonialism to predatory business practices and manipulative personal relationships. At its core, exploitation relies on an asymmetry of power—whether in the form of financial control, social influence, or political dominance. Those who exploit others often justify their actions through ideologies that normalize or rationalize inequality, perpetuating systems where exploitation becomes an accepted norm rather than an aberration. This is evident in instances such as companies underpaying workers while maximizing profits, governments manipulating populations through propaganda, or individuals using emotional coercion to control relationships. 
    One of the most insidious aspects of exploitation is its ability to operate under the guise of mutual benefit. Many exploitative dynamics are framed as fair exchanges, where the exploited party is led to believe they are willingly participating. This is particularly evident in labor markets, where workers may accept unfair wages and poor conditions due to a lack of viable alternatives.

    Interrogates the connections between a city’s physical landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points.In Urban Lowlands, Steven T. Moga looks closely at the Harlem Flats in New York City, Black Bottom in Nashville, Swede Hollow in Saint Paul, and the Flats in Los Angeles, to interrogate the connections between a city’s actual landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective on the history of US urban development from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, Moga reveals patterns of inequitable land use, economic dispossession, and social discrimination against immigrants and minorities. In attending to the landscapes of neighborhoods typically considered slums, Moga shows how physical and policy-driven containment has shaped the lives of the urban poor, while wealth and access to resources have been historically concentrated in elevated areas—truly “the heights.” Moga’s innovative framework expands our understanding of how planning and economic segregation alike have molded the American city.
