Summary

In 'The Essential Works of Du Bois', W. E. B. Du Bois presents a collection of his key writings on race, oppression, and social justice in America. Du Bois's literary style is characterized by his eloquent prose and powerful rhetoric, making his arguments both compelling and thought-provoking. The book includes essays, speeches, and excerpts from Du Bois's groundbreaking works such as 'The Souls of Black Folk' and 'Black Reconstruction in America', providing readers with a comprehensive insight into his intellectual legacy during the early 20th century. As a leading civil rights activist and scholar, Du Bois was motivated by his experiences of racial discrimination and inequality in American society. His dedication to the cause of racial equality led him to write prolifically and advocate for social change through education and activism. 'The Essential Works of Du Bois' reflects his lifelong commitment to challenging the status quo and promoting social justice for all individuals. I recommend 'The Essential Works of Du Bois' to readers interested in exploring the history of race relations in America and the intellectual contributions of one of the most influential African American thinkers of the 20th century. Du Bois's insightful analysis and impassioned advocacy for social justice make this book a landmark in the study of race and inequality in America.

    ""Not unlike some of Ralph Ellison’s or Richard Wright’s best work. White Guilt, a serious meditation on vital issues, deserves a wide readership.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer 
In 1955 the killers of Emmett Till, a black Mississippi youth, were acquitted because they were white. Forty years later, despite the strong DNA evidence against him, accused murderer O. J. Simpson went free after his attorney portrayed him as a victim of racism. The age of white supremacy has given way to an age of white guilt—and neither has been good for African Americans. 
Through articulate analysis and engrossing recollections, acclaimed race relations scholar Shelby Steele sounds a powerful call for a new culture of personal responsibility.

    Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 - December 21, 1940) was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He is best known for his four novels—This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is The Night—depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. In this recording, Fitgerald reads from Shakespeare's Othello, John Keats' Ode to a Nightingale, and John Masefield's On Growing Old.

    "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy" is a work by Karl Marx, which he wrote in 1859. This work serves as a precursor to his more famous and extensive work, "Das Kapital." In this earlier work, Marx explores key concepts and ideas that later form the basis of his critique of capitalist society. 
In this text, Marx delves into the economic and social structures of his time, examining the fundamental principles of political economy. He critiques various economic theories and thinkers, providing insights into his evolving thoughts on capitalism, labor, and the relationships between different classes in society. While not as comprehensive as "Das Kapital," this work lays the groundwork for Marx's later analyses and remains an essential piece for understanding his economic and philosophical perspectives.

    White boys and men are dangerous. 
White boys and men are struggling. 
Both of these statements are staggeringly true in America today. By far, most large-scale mass shooters are white men. White men also die by suicide more often than any other demographic. In this sensitive, searing, and unsparing look at American boyhood, journalist, mother, and pastor Angela Denker investigates the sometimes-tragic stories of boyhood across the United States. 
Disciples of White Jesus is a comprehensive look at the rise in radicalization among young white men in America, especially focused on the role of right-wing Christianity in the increase of religious-based hatred and violence. Denker goes deep into the online rabbit holes of right-wing Christian influencers and conservative Christian ideology to understand how the preaching of "traditional gender roles" and "submission of women" has led to anger, outrage, loneliness, depression, and limiting identities for young white Christian men across America. 
Casting her journalist's eye across the US, Denker retraces the steps of a racist South Carolina mass shooter and a Phoenix skinhead turned Evangelical pastor, interviews middle school teachers and coaches in the Midwest, and introduces us to young men across the country who will both confirm and confound our ideas about American boyhood--stories about boys and men who are forging new identities grounded in kindness, grace, respect, and even joy. A must-read for parents, grandparents, educators, coaches, faith leaders, researchers, and all who care about the state of American families, boys themselves, and the safety of American society at large.
