   'They Just Need to Get a Job': 15 Myths on Homelessness by Mary Brosnahan

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/756997 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/756997) to listen full audiobooks. Title: 'They Just Need to Get a Job': 15 Myths on Homelessness Author: Mary Brosnahan Narrator: Kristen Kallen-Keck Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 40 minutes Release date: November 12, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Readers will come away infuriated, with a greater understanding of the systemic causes of homelessness, and with more compassion for their homeless neighbors. Essential reading for any community affected by homelessness (which is all of them).” —Booklist, Starred Review For readers of Andrea Elliott and Matthew Desmond, the former CEO of the Coalition for the Homeless breaks through the highly destructive misinformation surrounding our homeless neighbors Conservative think tanks like the Manhattan Institute disseminate anti-homeless myths in the media, legislatures, and the larger culture, claiming that our homeless neighbors cause their own predicament and that the best we can do is manage the problem. Drawing on her deep legal knowledge, policy expertise, and decades of frontline service, Mary Brosnahan cuts through the misinformation to deliver two important messages: that homelessness ultimately stems from a lack of investment in affordable housing; and that the greatest myth of all is that we should have no hope. In fact, the proven solutions are well documented, and the ability to enact them depends on us all. Brosnahan takes a nationwide look from New York to Detroit, Philly to L.A., and from rural areas such as Cumberland County, Pennsylvania to debunk 15 widespread misconceptions, including: - that the problem is inevitable (in fact, Housing First approaches have shown great success) - that “handouts” cause homelessness (in fact, the primary causes are flat wages and high rent) - that homeless people need to prove that they’re “ready” to receive aid (in fact, enforcing hurdles is far more expensive and less effective than Housing First). With brilliant insight, Brosnahan showcases how by dispelling these pervasive myths rooted in fear, we can embrace the affordable, housing-based solutions that will bring our impoverished neighbors home.

   How to Feed the World: A Factful Guide by Vaclav Smil

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755796 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755796) to listen full audiobooks. Title: How to Feed the World: A Factful Guide Author: Vaclav Smil Narrator: Joe Jameson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 7, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. In this ambitious, myth-busting book, leading scientist and internationally bestselling author Vaclav Smil investigates many of the burning questions facing the world today: Why are some of the world’s biggest food producers also the countries with the most undernourished populations? Why is food waste a colossal 1,000kcal per person daily, and how can we solve that? Could we all go vegan and be healthy? Should we? How will we feed the ballooning population without killing the planet? How To Feed The World shows how we misunderstand the essentials of where our food really comes from, how our dietary requirements shape us, and why this impacts our planet in drastic ways. Ultimately, this data-based, rigorously researched guide explains how we will survive and thrive long into the future. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more’ BILL GATES ‘There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil’ GUARDIAN © Vaclav Smil 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024

   Faux Feminism: Why We Fall for White Feminism and How We Can Stop by Serene Khader

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752258 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752258) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Faux Feminism: Why We Fall for White Feminism and How We Can Stop Author: Serene Khader Narrator: Sharmila Devar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 47 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: For readers of Hood Feminism and Against White Feminism An incisive examination of why the pillars of feminism have eroded—and how all women, not just the #girlbosses, can rebuild them After over 175 years, the feminist movement, now in its fourth wave, is at risk of collapsing on its eroding foundation. In Faux Feminism, political philosopher Serene Khader advocates for another feminism—one that doesn’t overwhelmingly serve white, affluent #girlbosses. With empathy, passion, and wit, Khader invites the reader to join her as she excavates the movement’s history and draws a blueprint for a more inclusive and resilient future. A feminist myth buster, Khader begins by deconstructing “faux feminisms.” Thought to be the pillars of good feminism, they may appeal to many but, in truth, leave most women behind. Khader identifies these traps that white feminism lays for us all, asking readers to think critically about  –The Freedom Myth: The overarching misconception that feminism is about personal freedom rather than collective equality –The Individualism Myth: The pervasive idea that feminism aims to free individual women from social expectations –The Culture Myth: The harmful misconception that “other” cultures restrict women’s liberation –The Restriction Myth: The flawed belief that feminism is a fight against social restrictions –The Judgment Myth: The fallacy of celebrating women’s choices without first interrogating the privileges afforded or denied to the women In later chapters, Khader draws on global and intersectional feminist lessons of the past and present to imagine feminism’s future. She pays particular attention to women of color, especially those in the Global South. Khader recounts their cultural and political stories of building a more inclusive framework in their societies. These are the women, she argues, from whom today’s feminists can learn. Khader’s critical inquiry begets a new vision of feminism: one that tackles inequality at the societal, not individual, level and is ultimately rooted in community.
