ISBN: 9780807841693 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In contrast to other scholars who emphasize the affinity of the "New York Intellectuals" for literary modernism and its largely Jewish composition as its defining characteristics, Wald finds these traits to be secondary to the group's agonizing efforts in the 1930s and after to build a Marxist alternative to the official Communist movement.
