audiobook Freedom's Children: The Passage from Emancipation to the Great Migration by Velma Maia Thomas in History

Description

If The Barbarian Bible offends you; good! Ianto Watt isn't concerned with making friends or soothing bruised egos. Instead; Watt shares his unique and always controversial view of world history and what the future holds. Through a combination of simple math; common sense; and liar's logic; Watt challenges established views of world history; proving the modern world is heading for a repeat of the fall of Troy; and what such an event will mean for humanity. In Watt's world view; four groups dominated the last two thousand years: Imperial Rome (now represented by the United States); Holy Rome; The Chosen Ones; and the Barbarians. Each group is fundamentally opposed to the other three; forming uneasy alliances only to strike at (and betray) each other. Just to make it interesting; each group also has a major impostor. Watt's arguments are likely to offend many in the English-speaking world; the seat of modern Imperial Rome. At the same time; he aims his iconoclastic sarcasm at all four world groups (and their impostors); making scathing commentaries on religion; politics; culture; and social assumptions. Controversial; offensive; and revolutionary; Watt's opinions generate heated debate in all who read them.
