    The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the Making of the American Working Class (Haymarket Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
    Combining classical Marxism, psychoanalysis, and the new labor history pioneered by E. P. Thompson and Herbert Gutman, David Roediger's widely acclaimed book provides an original study of the formative years of working-class racism in the United States. This, he argues, cannot be explained simply with reference to economic advantage; rather, white working-class racism is underpinned by a complex series of psychological and ideological mechanisms that reinforce racial stereotypes, and thus help to forge the identities of white workers in opposition to Blacks. In a new preface, Roediger reflects on the reception, influence, and critical response to The Wages of Whiteness, while Kathleen Cleaver's insightful introduction hails the importance of a work that has become a classic. ungekürzt.

    Hunter's Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
    One alchemist. One trapped soul. And heaps of trouble. I’m Lou Vitalis, dragon-robber, mobster-killer, end-of-the-world-preventer. Big job titles, and it’s hard to fit them on a business card, so most people just know me as “that weird alchemist down the street.” And I’ve got some problems. There’s this angry soul that occasionally takes over my body. I probably could have handled that, but Pandora’s Box is slowly opening in my apartment. Also, an Inkslinger is trying to kill me. Yeah, when it rains, it pours. In my case, it hails. Somehow, it’s all connected to my past. Or rather, to my parents’ past, and to the day they died. I’ll have to dredge up some old memories to figure this out, and I’ll have to do it fast. Because now my parents’ murderer is after me. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Khristine Hvam.
