Born in Blackness vitally reframes the story of medieval and emerging Africa, demonstrating how the economic ascendancy of Europe, the anchoring of democracy in the West, and the fulfillment of so-called Enlightenment ideals all grew out of Europe's dehumanizing engagement with the "dark" continent. In fact, French reveals, the first impetus for the Age of Discovery was not—as we are so often told, even today—Europe's yearning for ties with Asia, but rather its centuries-old desire to forge a trade in gold with legendarily rich Black societies in the heart of West Africa.

Enlightening

I liked the fact that I learned many new things and that is something I am always endeavoring to do. Definitely recommend for anyone to listen to. Captivating narration but not over the top.

Koh gets into a studio and writes something good, but the song is given to another artist. He meets a young female songwriter named Jessi Fyre, who says that this sort of thing is just part of the game and that he needs to slow his roll.

Legendary Grammy Award-winning producer and towering musical icon T Bone Burnett speaks plainly, which is all the more reason why his stunning new Words + Music, The Confederacy: Truth and Reconciliation, lands with such force. And his songs, delivered straight from the heart, carry with them the weight of unvarnished truth and the wisdom he’s gathered from a lifetime.

Insightful
Revisado: 09-27-20
Extremely insightful and worth listening to and reflecting...I am about to listen again and will highly recommend to friends and family. I think every American should listen. Would be a much improved way to teach American history in school...learned more than I ever did in school. Thanks TBone

The Monarchs, the most powerful sacred artists on Cradle, rule with unquestioned authority. They are mysterious and distant, and catching a glimpse of one is privilege enough for a lifetime. To meet one is to come face-to-face with a legend. Now, they have all gathered in one place, bringing their heirs and greatest students together for a competition to determine whose successor is the best in the world.

Ending sucked
Revisado: 11-12-19
Listened to all seven books. They were awesome building on one another until the end. The ending of the seventh book sucked. I can't say anything better.

This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things - mostly about money and investing - she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical.

Good information
Revisado: 11-09-19
Good stuff. However, I would prefer the hard copy book format because there's so much information to reference and I don't have a good enough memory to keep it straight while listening.

In The Half Has Never Been Told, historian Edward E. Baptist reveals the alarming extent to which slavery shaped our country politically, morally, and most of all, economically. Until the Civil War, our chief form of innovation was slavery. Through forced migration and torture, slave owners extracted continual increases in efficiency from their slaves, giving the country a virtual monopoly on the production of cotton, a key raw material of the Industrial Revolution.

Eye Opening, Awakens Compassion...We are indebted
Revisado: 01-17-15
Would you consider the audio edition of The Half Has Never Been Told to be better than the print version?
Only listened to audio...cannot compare.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Edward E. Baptist for doing this work...for sharing the other side of our American history.
What does Ron Butler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He is a skilled orator...Pleasant, matter of fact delivery...Kept my attention throughout. His skilled narration, coupled with the content was captivating...I could not stop listening.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Indebted to our African Americans...I'm so ashamed and sorry for the past...Please forgive us and we're sorry.
Any additional comments?
It is a travesty this history has not been told. The poor and middle class in our country of all races are being divided and pitted against each other like pawns in a chess game...It serves only one purpose and it is none of us. We need to stand together and support each other. We have much more in common than we do differences. We all live, love, feel, bleed and die. We are ONE HUMAN RACE!
