Race and Realpolitik: The Politics of Colonisation in German Samoa
ISBN: 9783631393802 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The author argues that rather than uniting the colonising community in a racist mission of domination, racial thought...

ISBN: 9783631651810 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2014 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In den Korrespondenzen Karl Wolfskehls aus den Jahren seines neuseelandischen Exils, die er mit uber den Globus verstreuten Freunden und Bekannten gefuhrt hat, erscheint der antipodische Inselstaat als exemplarisches Exilland der Zeit, als europaferne -Ultima Thule des Sudens-.
