Wilson J: Freedom Music

Freedom Music

Wales, Emancipation and Jazz 1850-1950

Shortest Histories

The Shortest History of Austria

The author and director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library Publishing Project gives voice to long silent African Americans from the past, allowing them to tell their own stories that shed new light on critical moments in the Black Freedom Struggle, challenging what we think we know about Black history. History is at its best when new findings and perspectives challenge old ideas and notions about the past, and even overturn common wisdom.What if a former enslaved man in Galveston, Texas, witnessed the first Juneteenth and told a completely different story from what most of us know about that day? Why were slave ships most prone to rebellion, including those carrying the most African women? How has Islam found its way into R&amp;B, soul, jazz, and other American popular music? Who was Benjamin Banneker, really?In A High Price for Freedom, historian Clyde W. Ford addresses these and other questions, amplifying little-known voices from the African American past. In this wide-ranging, impeccably researched book, Ford begins with the 1656 court case of a woman named Elizabeth Key, who won a verdict for her freedom against her would-be enslaver—a victory that would forever change the nature, brutality, and course of American slavery.Ford examines a range of topics, from the role of women in fomenting slave revolts to an in-depth look at how Selma was not really about voting rights or even Martin Luther King, Jr, but about a twenty-six-year-old Black man named Jimmie Lee Jackson who was killed by an Alabama state trooper. As he laying dying in the only hospital that would treat Black people in February 1965, Jimmie Lee whispered to his nurse, a Catholic nun, “Sister, isn’t this a high price for freedom?”Eye-opening, enlightening, and often counterintuitive, this fascinating history includes compelling, heartrending, and factual accounts about people and events in the African American past that teach us things we never learned and challenge the stories we thought we knew.

The Edinburgh Murders

A dark tour-de-force by bestselling historical crime fiction queen

Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of 20th-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance; this is the story of the one man who stood in opposition. In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italy's history took place in Sicily. The maxi-processo saw 462 men and 4 women take the stand, accused of kidnapping, extortion, drug trafficking and thousands upon thousands of murders. Sitting in the galley was Leonardo Sciascia, then aged 65. One of the greatest European writers of the 20th century, he had published the only fictional account of the Mafia, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as the one true moral figure in a county where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life. Sciascia was born in 1921 and came of age alongside the then-adolescent Mafia. Following the First World War, Sicily faced extreme poverty and hardship, and many Sicilians did not recognise Rome's leadership, leaving a void local gangsters would soon fill. Witnessing the spread of corruption and violence in his own hometown, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business. In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascia's life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italy's soul.

Feminist Media Histories

Archiving the Past&nbsp;uncovers&nbsp;the story of the women in&nbsp;France who, from the 1920s to the 1970s, played critical roles in the production of global cinema's history: as&nbsp;archivists&nbsp;charged with collecting films and other materials, as&nbsp;witnesses&nbsp;tasked with remembering their own film careers, and as&nbsp;activists&nbsp;committed to recovering women's contributions to film history. Reflecting on how gender politics informs the production of film history, Aurore Spiers&nbsp;recasts the film archive as a site of women's agency, modeling strategies for inclusivity, recuperation, and liberation within feminist film historiography.
