Story
Join abolitionist Richard Henry Dana as he explores Spanish Cuba in 1859, where kidnapped Black Africans were slaves on vast sugar plantations along with impoverished Chinese coolies suffering under unbreakable eight-year contracts. Dana visited Cuba on a fact-finding mission he calls a vacation voyage. He describes Cuban slavery; explores Cuban society, institutions, and educational systems; and exposes a corrupt prison system, where the more a prisoner pays, the less he is punished.

Story
In 1845 London, an engineer, philosopher, philanthropist, and bold-faced charlatan John Adolphus Etzler has invented machines that he thinks will transform the division of labor and free all men. He forms a collective called the Tropical Emigration Society (TES) and recruits a variety of London citizens to take his machines and his misguided ideas to form a protosocialist, utopian community in the British colony of Trinidad. Among his recruits is a teenage boy (and the audiobook's narrator) named Willy Tucker, who falls head-over-heels for the enthralling and wise Marguerite Whitechurch. Coming from the gentry, Marguerite is a world away from Willy's laboring class. As the voyage continues, and their love for one another strengthens, Willy and Marguerite prove themselves to be the true socialists aboard ship, their actions and adventures standing in stark contrast to Etzler's disconnected theories.” Robert Antoni's tragic historical novel, accented with West Indian cadences and captivating humor, provides an unforgettable glimpse into nineteenth-century Trinidad & Tobago.

Story
When we hear of Jamaica or the Caribbean, we think of beautiful islands of paradise with sun, sea and sand, reggae music, cannabis, and "irie" people like Usain Bolt - people who are living out their best dreams, desires, and lives. But this book analyzes this motif, given the historical and current economic and political situation in Jamaica, the Caribbean, and the "Global South". In an attempt to escape the adverse realities of poverty, inequality, and injustice, the people of the Global South find themselves in north metropolises with very little agency.

“Se ha dicho muchas veces que la realidad supera la ficción. Es una frase tan manida que ha comenzado a caer en desuso. Sin embargo, hay libros que justifican su empleo. Este es el caso de Esperando en la calle Zapote, de la escritora cubanoamericana Betty Viamontes, quien se sintió obligada a escribir en su contraportada, a modo de advertencia, estas palabras: ‘Este libro está basado en una historia de la vida real’.

Story
La Revolución haitiana fue una rebelión de esclavos que comenzó en 1791 en la colonia francesa de Saint-Domingue, conocida ahora como Haití. En esta pequeña isla los tiranos fueron los dueños de esclavos, gente que no solo privaba de libertad a sus esclavos, sino que también pensaba que estaba justificado quitarles la vida. La Revolución haitiana empezó a cambiar la imagen de los esclavos en el mundo. Aunque costó otros 100 años erradicar la esclavitud en occidente, era imposible ignorar el paralelismo entre lo que los americanos y los franceses hicieron a los esclavos.

What emerges is an eye-opening narrative of American ambivalence about an island so deeply tied to our uncomfortable imperial past.

In the 1950s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) secretly planned, supported, and funded two coups: one in Guatemala and one in Iran. This was the height of the Cold War, and both deposed governments were suspected of leaning to the left and favoring closer ties with the Soviet Union, while the regimes that replaced them were more inclined to look favorably on the United States.

The odyssey of the Cubano begins with its hazy origins in the midnight cafes of Havana, from where it evolved into a dainty high-class hors d'oeuvre and eventually became a hearty street snack devoured by cigar factory workers.

Fidel Castro, uno dei politici più influenti dell'ultimo secolo, ha attirato l'attenzione del mondo intero sin dai tempi della rivoluzione cubana. Gli ideali di libertà e la fiera opposizione agli Stati Uniti hanno sempre contraddistinto la sua linea d'azione. Politico lungimirante ma anche assolutista, Castro ha messo Cuba al centro di notevoli discussioni: l'avvento del comunismo, la crisi dei missili e l'embargo sono solo alcuni degli aspetti che hanno reso celebre il suo governo.

The history of African Americans has been complicated and controversial. While some will fight against racism, others deny the severity of it throughout the ages. Whether or not the issue is as serious as it used to be is a separate topic for debate. You will learn more about slavery, the rise of the cotton market in the Southern states, the abolitionism of slavery, segregation, and individuals like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X who have made a significant impact on the common perspective on these issues. Many things have changed over the past two centuries. Let’s find out what.

Patrick Vernon's landmark 100 Great Black Britons campaign of 2003 was one of the most successful movements to focus on the role of people of African and Caribbean descent in British history. Frustrated by the widespread and continuing exclusion of the Black British community from the mainstream popular conception of 'Britishness', despite Black people having lived in Britain for more than 1,000 years, Vernon set up a public poll in which anyone could vote for the Black Briton they most admired.
