Du Bois: Selected Essays - Reflections on Race Inequality and Social Justice: A Critical Exploration

W.E.B. DuBois

Summary

In "Du Bois: Selected Essays," W.E.B. Du Bois presents a compelling collection that dives deep into the complexities of race, identity, and social justice in early 20th-century America. His literary style merges eloquence with incisive social critique, reflecting the intellectual vigor of the Harlem Renaissance and the broader progressive movements of his time. The essays illuminate themes of double consciousness, the struggle for civil rights, and the transformative power of education, providing a profound exploration of the African American experience. Du Bois's arguments are not only rooted in personal conviction but also in a rich tapestry of academic rigor and historical insight. W.E.B. Du Bois was a pioneering sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist, whose experiences as a Black man in America profoundly shaped his worldview and writings. Born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, he was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University. His involvement with the Niagara Movement and the NAACP underscored his dedication to fighting racial injustice, and his scholarly work laid the groundwork for future studies in sociology and race relations. This collection is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of racial dynamics in America and the intellectual roots of contemporary discussions on race. Du Bois's insights remain relevant, urging readers to confront the historical injustices that persist today, making this anthology a vital resource for scholars, students, and activists alike.

The January 6th Tapes - The...

The Select Committee to...

The only audiobook of the live Jan. 6 Select Committee Hearings, illuminating one of the most shocking days in contemporary American history through the unforgettable testimony and a foreword by lawyer and legal analyst Preet Bharara.

The select committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol gripped the country in ways reminiscent of Watergate or the Clinton Impeachment. From the opening statements by Congressman Bennie Thompson and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, to Cassidy Hutchinson’s riveting surprise testimony, to the vote to subpoena former President Donald J. Trump, the hearings were carefully crafted to tell the story of the day our democracy was put in peril.

The January 6th Tapes is the only audiobook where listeners can hear all 20 hours of unabridged audio recordings – each of the nine public hearings is full of stunning testimony from Trump allies, aides, and lawyers; legal experts; participants in the attacks; and members of the team tasked with protecting the Capitol building that day. It includes a foreword from Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, examining the historical impact of the committee and the hearings, as well as the effect they will have on American democracy.

Hearing the testimony helps all students of history understand the stakes in a way simply not possible from reading the report. As such, The January 6th Tapes is an easily accessible archive providing a lasting chronicle of one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

Title IX Pat Summitt and...

Mary Ellen Pethel

In June 1972, President Richard Nixon put pen to paper and signed the Educational Amendments of 1972 into law. The nearly 150-page document makes no mention of “gender,” “athletics,” “girls,” or “women.” The bill did not appear to contain anything earth shattering. But tucked into its final pages, a heading appears, “Title IX—Prohibition of Sex Discrimination.” These 37 words would change the world for girls and women across the United States. On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education. In time, Title IX would serve as the tipping point for the modern era of women’s sport. Slowly but surely, women’s athletics at the high school and collegiate levels grew to prominence, and Tennessee fast emerged as a national leader.
In Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers, Mary Ellen Pethel introduces readers to past and present pioneers—each instrumental to the success of women’s athletics across the state and nation. Through vibrant profiles, Pethel celebrates the lives and careers of household names like Pat Summitt and Candace Parker, as well as equally important forerunners such as Ann Furrow and Teresa Phillips. Through their lived experiences, these fifty individuals laid the foundation for athletic excellence in Tennessee, which in turn shaped the national landscape for women’s sports.
With interviewees ranging from age 20 to 93, Pethel artfully combines storytelling with scholarship. Guided by the voices of the athletes, coaches, and administrators, Pethel vividly documents achievement and adversity, wins and losses, and advice for the next generation. This book represents the first statewide compilation of its kind—offering readers a behind-the- scenes perspective of Tennessee women who dedicated their lives to the advancement of sport and gender equality. Readers will delight in Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers: 50 Years, 50 Stories. For more follow @drpethel.
