This sweeping survey of Black history shows how Black humanity has been erased and how its recovery can save the humanity of us all. Using history as a foundation, The Humanity Archive uses storytelling techniques to make history come alive and uncover the truth behind America's whitewashed history. The Humanity Archive focuses on the overlooked narratives in the pages of the past. Challenging dominant perspectives, author Jermaine Fowler goes outside the textbooks to find recognizably human stories.

Truly Powerful
Revisado: 03-04-23
This book is a phenomenal full history account of Black people from the earliest of times on the continent of Africa, through the middle passage, chattel slavery, the American Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights Movement, to current times. It goes in depth not only teaching the history, but giving names to those history has long forgotten. With his melodic voice and penchant to tell all sides of the history, Jermaine Fowler has truly written a masterpiece.

Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life with Stefan, the wounded fiancé she hardly knows anymore, she decides that being in Paris is not so bad after all. Bored and torn between duty and the desire to be free, Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job.

Book 0
Revisado: 08-28-19
I started off by reading The Kommandant's Girl which I loved and then I moved on to The Diplomat's Wife which was also very good. As I wasn't ready for the series to end I saw that there was also a "book 0" in the series and purchased that. I have to say that since I read these books in succession I knew the facts of the characters already. My biggest pet peeve in series' like this is not sticking to the facts presented in the other books regarding the characters and their backgrounds. There were many instances that were not "factually" true regarding the characters and unfortunately it made the book less engaging versus the others. While I enjoyed the book enough, I do not think that it really goes well in the series due to this and would not recommend it as a vital part of the story.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Eye-opening & Hilarious
Revisado: 02-11-19
I'm from the US and although I've heard of the apartheid and racism in South Africa, I've never known much about it beyond that. Trevor delivers an eye-opening first person view of South African life from a black South African. He does an incredible job (as usual) of mixing in humor into the facts.. I never thought I'd say this, but the Hitler story was literally one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. Excellent read!

When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (German for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners. Imprisoned for more than two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism - but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive.

Captivating and Beautiful
Revisado: 02-04-19
The mixture of history, love, and perseverance in this book along with the incredible writing kept me interested and constantly wanting to know more. The only thing I can say negatively is that I wish it were longer because I finished it in less than two days. From start to finish I was glued to this book!
