We Slaves of Suriname | Anton de Kom
post image
Mehso-so

This book is a charge against Holland. And rightly so. My country has abused its power in a scandalous way. Suriname was a Dutch colony where slavery was everywhere until 1863. After that circumstances remained poor for the native population until independence. It‘s a shame how little we still know about this part of our history if you‘re not actively looking for it.

The book itself though is dryly written and it was hard to follow along.

Cinfhen Cool use for #CreateYourOwnPrompt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3y
TrishB I don‘t think you‘re alone in their country abusing it‘s power ☹️ 3y

At just under 11 hours I wasn‘t aware this was an abridged audio version of the Beatles Biography. I found it richly detailed and quite informative. As I listened, I realized I knew very little about the four lads from Liverpool. Wow, they were young when Beatlemania was at an all time high. This book gives a definitive look at the rise of the Beatles and shares the stories behind some of their more famous songs & albums. It also bares some 👇🏼

Cinfhen of the uglier sides of John, Paul and Yoko Ono. I was unaware of how consumed John Lennon was with psychedelic drugs. He seemed to be the most temperamental of the four. Audio narration was excellent. #POP22 #AboutABandOrMusicalGroup #NF22 #IAmRockAndRoll #Book2022 #CreateYourOwnPrompt #BookSetInTheDecadeOfYourBirthYear @BarbaraBB @Megabooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @KarenUK @jenniferw88 @RaeLovesToRead @Laughterhp @Cortg @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 3y
KarenUK I recently watched the new 3 part documentary, Get Back, and that was about 9 hours! It focused entirely on them writing and recording their last album, and was SO fascinating! It was like a fly-on-the-wall study of nuances of human behavior, with all the friendship history, their creative genius, petty rivalries and frustrations etc under a microscope. Really worth watching. 3y
Cinfhen Was it Netflix @KarenUK ? I‘d be curious to watch the documentary. Ultimately It really was a sad story 😔They became more of a phenomenon than a band. Fame is a bitter pill 3y

TrishB John was not the all round good guy that his public persona still comes across as. Hubby loved the documentary that @KarenUK talked about (I found it a bit boring- but in Liverpool we know everything about The Beatles anyway 😁😁). 3y
KarenUK In US I think it‘s Disney+ only…. we signed on just for a month, to watch that and Hamilton! @Cinfhen It was DEFINITELY long, but I couldn‘t tear my eyes away…. @TrishB but is was all new to me! 3y
Cinfhen I REALLY hope to visit one day @TrishB and get the Beatles tour from you xxx I‘ll have to look for the documentary @KarenUK my son is good about finding the websites needed ☺️ 3y

#7-about a Royal: The Summer Queen
#8-by a journalist: Evicted
#9-Five Nights Before the Summit
#10-Make Your Own Prompt “Related to things I make (quilts)”: Quilt or Innocence
#11-nautical novel: The Deep

Cinfhen I like your take on #CreateYourOwnPrompt 👏🏼👏🏼 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I thought about The Deep for that prompt! And gosh … I need to read Evicted more than ever! 3y
