Sinopse

In "Fort Robinson: Outpost on the Plains," Roger T. Grange meticulously chronicles the rich history and cultural significance of Fort Robinson, a pivotal military post situated in Nebraska. Employing a blend of narrative history and scholarly analysis, Grange weaves together accounts of the fort's operational roles during the Indian Wars, its strategic importance for the U.S. military, and its evolution into a symbol of westward expansion. The prose is characterized by an engaging and accessible style, making complex historical events relatable and vivid for readers, while the thorough research offers an insightful context that situates Fort Robinson within broader themes of American history. Roger T. Grange brings to this work a profound understanding of military history, inspired by his academic background in American Studies and his extensive field research. His lifelong interest in the American frontier and military outposts places him in a unique position to explore the contradictions of progress, habitation, and conflict in the evolution of the American West. Grange'Äôs previous publications and expertise culminate in a narrative that is both informative and thought-provoking. I highly recommend "Fort Robinson: Outpost on the Plains" to anyone interested in American history, military studies, or the complexities of frontier life. This book not only serves as a valuable resource for scholars but also appeals to general readers who seek to understand the nuanced relationship between the U.S. military and Indigenous cultures during a transformative period in American history.

    Could being Black in America make you sick? Over the last decade, Kevin Dedner has been on a mission to explore this powerful and troubling question, shining an unconventional spotlight on the impact of racism on mental health. In his debut book, The Joy of the Disinherited, Dedner articulates his call for urgent change: We must knock down the invisible barriers that make it harder for Black people to get the mental health care they need and deserve. Building on American author and civil rights leader Howard Thurman’s Jesus and the Disinherited, widely considered a manual of resistance for the oppressed, Dedner uses Thurman’s teachings to come to terms with the impact oppression has had on his own mental health and the mental health of Black Americans, digging into family stories as examples of the legacy of unresolved generational trauma of the disinherited.As a public health professional who has spent his career working on high-profile issues, Dedner uses his autobiographical essays to highlight the latest mental health research, while simultaneously interrogating the invisible barriers he has encountered along his own mental health journey. Dedner weaves together research, personal storytelling and a powerful sense of our shared history to drive the conversation about the future of mental health care. This audiobook is intended to be an immersive experience designed to help you navigate and better understand your own struggles with mental health. You are encouraged to listen to it chronologically. However, you may find that certain sections speak more to where you are, where you’ve been, or where you’re going on your personal mental health journey. In addition to the text, our reader has created a song entitled, “The Story of the Disinherited,” which summarizes the entire book. You will hear excerpts from the song at the end of each chapter. At the end of the reading, you can hear the entire song.

    Deer Hunting with Jesus -...

    By turns tender, incendiary, and seriously funny, this book is a call to arms for fellow progressives with little real understanding of "the great beery, NASCAR-loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks." 
     
     
     
    Deer Hunting with Jesus is Joe Bageant's report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. Like countless American small towns, it is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. Two in five of the people in his old neighborhood do not have high school diplomas or health care. Alcohol, overeating, and Jesus are the preferred avenues of escape. 
     
     
     
    He writes of: 
     
     
     
    ● His childhood friends who work at factory jobs that are constantly on the verge of being outsourced 
     
     
     
    ● The mortgage and credit card rackets that saddle the working poor with debt 
     
     
     
    ● The ubiquitous gun culture—and why the left doesn't get it 
     
     
     
    ● Scots Irish culture and how it played out in the young life of Lynddie England
