Publisher's summary
The American story is a story of progress. We’re taught that as time moves forward–and movements for civil rights come and go–America gets better, and better, and better.
But the story isn’t that straightforward. Because often, on the heels of what looks like progress, comes backlash. People in power find ways to return things to the way they were before. These moments prove that progress isn’t linear or inevitable. Our standard narratives about American progress aren’t quite true.
Backlash offers a new narrative. This show unpacks six different backlashes in American history–and uses these stories to come to new understandings of what progress actually is.
Over the course of six episodes, you’ll hear from people who experienced these backlashes firsthand–and still fought to make progress happen. There’s the Black Panthers who were targeted by Ronald Regan’s gun-control bill and forced to stop carrying arms. The activists who are still fighting school segregation in Boston–50 years after the city was overwhelmed by riots against integration. And many more.
In an era where it seems like change is always right around the corner but never quite here, Backlash uses stories from our past to help us understand how to navigate our complicated present.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

While the popular image of the Victorian world is one of stiff formality and old-fashioned values, it was an incredibly transformative time for many people who sought better protections, fairer wages, and greater freedom. And this included an increasingly popular and successful fight for animal welfare. Prior to the 19th century, the mistreatment of animals was rarely questioned, and sports like bullbaiting and dogfighting were common. So, what brought the plight of exploited and suffering animals to the attention of activists, politicians, and the public at large?

Gemma Summers is unlucky in love. She's known it since third grade, when her first crush blew a spitball into her hair, and a decade-long string of bad dates, boring sex, and abysmal morning afters has done nothing to improve her prospects. But when a random radio call-in contest lands her courtside tickets to the hottest playoff game of the season, Gemma's luck may finally be on the upswing, even if it doesn't exactly seem like it when the dreaded Jumbotron kiss cam lands on her and her date.

Stories that matter
I thought I would only listen to an episode here and there in my spare time, but before I knew it, I was three episodes down and couldn't stop. Even though I have lived in this country for over three decades and I'm aware of racism and the treatment of marginalized individuals, I didn't realize how unaware I am of our American history—the backlash of actions taken. I must admit I follow the masses and focus on the headlines, but Backlash tells a different story—the impact on real people. I love the narrator's calm voice as she describes crucial historical events and how they still impact today's society. Looking forward to hearing more from Adesua Agbonile

Understanding my power!
I was Leary at first but after listening to the entire book. I was able to understand the author's point of view as I simple listen to the the interviews. while I agree with the anti Black ,Queer, sexist,etc backlash. As a historian I take issue with the over used phase "History repeats itself". Actually, people repeat history as a result of not learning from the past, unfortunately.

Easy listening to a hard topic
The depth of research and fact-finding in this podcast is truly impressive. Adesuwa’s intelligence, dedication, and passion for equality, diversity, and justice shine through in every episode. Her voice conveys a strong connection to the cause.
Throughout the series, there were numerous eye-opening moments, and I walked away with a much clearer understanding of how we arrived at this point and what lies ahead.
The narrative was clear and thoughtfully presented.

Extraordinary!
I loved EVERY word of it. I want my sisters, nieces , nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, neighbors, friends even strangers to listen to this. And, I want to get everyone's opinion. I push education on my family because I want them to know, I push education so "they" know that "we" know!!
Thank you

Amazing show!!!
This might be my new favorite show - I hope there are more seasons! The episodes are wide-ranging and deeply researched, but the host brings a personal touch to the show that makes it deeply engaging. The show taught me so much about US history that I didn’t learn in high school - the episode on eugenics, in particular, is mandatory listening.

American history
I had no idea how/why the black panther party was formed . thanks a lot for educating me. American history class definitely did a terrible job educating me.

American History
The only thing I dislike is the fact that her podcast made me once again realize that the education I received in the US is whitewashed. Women my age and younger may not have known exactly why bodily autonomy is so important. The world needs to understand why The Black Panthers were so important. and shame on you Hollywood for constantly making them out to be dangerous thugs. I wish I could post this on tiktok so more people could have a listen.
