天辣…Aretha不必說了,演員也太猛了,自己唱的…不只是主演,其中其他的歌手也都是張口就是一道海碗口那麼粗的激光直衝天靈蓋射出銀河系擊穿獵戶座。第五集開始離婚+搞社運讓Aretha簡直變了一個人,整個人都真正亮起來了,不像之前被渣男操控,總有一股陰霾在臉上。外表的傲慢強悍是為了保護內心的脆弱敏感,這所有加在一起才是Aretha Franklin。

電影肯定比書和紀錄片能呈現的要少多了,但是對當時情境的還原是不可替代的。這些人,無論本來是出身如何、高低貴賤,到了夾邊溝,都會變得像蟲子一樣,趴在西北乾燥的黃土裡蠕動,站起來都會累得直喘,把這稱作是“還活著”。電影看完,上級開會給他們發放補給、送他們回家休養,好像終於結束了。但是你一想,這才是60-61年,別說文革,連四清五反什麼的都還沒開始呢。

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine Goodreads 豆瓣
作者: Rashid Khalidi Metropolitan Books 2020 - 1
A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family historyIn 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, “in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.” Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi’s great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective.Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members―mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists―The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel’s 1982 invation of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process. Original, authoritative, and important, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluting the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

秦漢帝國與沒有歷史的人 豆瓣
作者: 胡川安 聯經 2021 - 5
歷史原來不是課本上寫的那樣!
中原是種想像,中華文化的起源不只一處?!
看三星堆的發現,如何改變我們認知的歷史版圖
「當中原周邊發現相當多與中原相異的文化、打破了過去中國文明單一起源的看法,而這些文化卻是過去文獻當中所沒有記載的,在我們過去的歷史知識中所缺乏的,我們如何解釋歷史文獻與考古材料間的差異呢?究竟這群沒有歷史的人 是如何消失的呢?」──胡川安,《秦漢帝國與沒有歷史的人•導論》
所謂的「中華」,在哪裡?
是由中原輻射出去的文明嗎?
僅限所謂的「漢人」嗎?
▍三星堆:挑戰「中原」概念的外星人文化
1986年中國四川省三星堆商代後期兩大祭祀坑的發現,震驚了海內外,也給了我們重新思索自身起源的新起點。
三星堆的著名面具和人像是十足的「異國」面孔,被媒體稱為「外星人的傑作和遺跡」,青銅器鑄造技術也有別於中原。這個高度發展的文明一點也不「漢人」、被排除在我們熟知的脈絡外,挑戰所有人對中原文化的認知。
▍秦漢帝國殖民導致三星堆文化覆滅?
3千年前的三星堆文明讓我們看到新的「中原」面貌同時,也激發更多疑問。其中最讓人不解的,就是這個東亞大陸上漢文化以外的另一個高度文明,為何會消失呢?
歷史學者胡川安相互參照歷史記載與考古結果,大膽推論出了可能的解答:三星堆文明的消失,肇因於被秦帝國殖民!
原來秦一統天下從來不只「滅諸侯,成帝業,為天下一統」,而是爭奪資源的殖民統治。由秦、西漢而東漢,古代四川人在外來漢文化殖民統治下生活,他們反抗、掙扎於自我認同,知識分子不得不想辦法在帝國體制內生存。在東漢末年,他們的文化竟還達到驚人發展,不受帝國崩潰影響。
▍中原是種想像,中華文化的起源不只一處?
過去,我們相信自己是「龍的傳人」,想像中華民族有單一、共通的祖先。四川三星堆文化的出土,讓我們得以用新材料、視角回顧歷史,刷新我們對古代歷史的認知、拓寬視野。

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz Beacon Press 2014 - 9
The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples

Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.

With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.”

Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

Beyond Freedom's Reach 豆瓣
作者: Adam Rothman Harvard University Press 2015 - 2
Born into slavery in rural Louisiana, Rose Herera was bought and sold several times before being purchased by the De Hart family of New Orleans. Still a slave, she married and had children, who also became the property of the De Harts. But after Union forces captured New Orleans in 1862 during the American Civil War, Herera's owners fled to Havana, taking three of her small children with them. Beyond Freedom's Reach is the true story of one woman's quest to rescue her children from bondage.
In a gripping, meticulously researched account, Adam Rothman lays bare the mayhem of emancipation during and after the Civil War. Just how far the rights of freed slaves extended was unclear to black and white people alike, and so when Mary De Hart returned to New Orleans in 1865 to visit friends, she was surprised to find herself taken into custody as a kidnapper. The case of Rose Herera's abducted children made its way through New Orleans' courts, igniting a custody battle that revealed the prospects and limits of justice during Reconstruction.
Rose Herera's perseverance brought her children's plight to the attention of members of the U.S. Senate and State Department, who turned a domestic conflict into an international scandal. Beyond Freedom's Reach is an unforgettable human drama and a poignant reflection on the tangled politics of slavery and the hazards faced by so many Americans on the hard road to freedom.
自由之夏 (2014) 豆瓣
Freedom Summer
导演: 斯坦利·尼尔森
其它标题: Freedom Summer
In 1964, despite the best efforts of local civil rights activists, Mississippi remained virulently committed to segregation, underscored by the systematic exclusion of African Americans from the political process. In response, Robert Moses of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee developed a campaign to bring a thousand volunteers—primarily enthusiastic young white supporters—to the state to encourage voter registration, provide much-needed education, and convene a more representative delegation to attend the Democratic National Convention.
Veteran director Stanley Nelson (Freedom Riders screened at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival) captures the volatile months of that summer through remarkable period footage and the firsthand testimonies of volunteers who were transformed by their time in Mississippi. With the Supreme Court recently striking down a key section of the Voting Rights Act, Nelson's film is a potent reminder of the sacrifices made half a century ago to ensure civil rights for all and the vigilance needed to protect what they accomplished. - B.T.

In the late 1960s and early ’70s, Swedish television journalists traveled to the United States with the intention of “showing the country as it really is.” Some of the images and interviews they collected have been assembled by Goran Hugo Olsson into a roughly chronological collage that restores a complex human dimension to the racial history of the era.

The searing, visionary memoir of founding Black Panther Huey P. Newton, in a dazzling graphic package
Eloquently tracing the birth of a revolutionary, Huey P. Newton's famous and oft-quoted autobiography is as much a manifesto as a portrait of the inner circle of America's Black Panther Party. From Newton's impoverished childhood on the streets of Oakland to his adolescence and struggles with the system, from his role in the Black Panthers to his solitary confinement in the Alameda County Jail, Revolutionary Suicide is smart, unrepentant, and thought-provoking in its portrayal of inspired radicalism.
Diary of a Man in Despair 豆瓣
作者: Friedrich Reck 译者: Paul Rubens NYRB Classics 2013 - 2
Friedrich Reck might seem an unlikely rebel against Nazism. Not just a conservative but a rock-ribbed reactionary, he played the part of a landed gentleman, deplored democracy, and rejected the modern world outright. To Reck the Nazis were ruthless revolutionaries in Gothic drag, and helpless as he was to counter the spell they had cast on the German people, he felt compelled to record the corruptions of their rule. The result is less a diary than a sequence of stark and astonishing snapshots of life in Germany between 1936 and 1944. We see the Nazis at the peak of power, and the murderous panic with which they respond to approaching defeat; their travesty of traditional folkways in the name of the Volk; and the author’s own missed opportunity to shoot Hitler. This riveting book is not only, as Hannah Arendt proclaimed it, “one of the most important documents of the Hitler period” but a moving testament of a decent man struggling to do the right thing in a depraved world.
