In this vivid ethnography, Cymene Howe analyzes how local activists balanced global discourses regarding human rights and identity politics with the contingencies of daily life in Nicaragua. Though they were initially spurred by the antisodomy measure, activists sought to change not only the law but also culture. Howe...

Ireland and Empire: Colonial Legacies in Irish History and Culture
ISBN: 9780198208259 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

This book evaluates and analyzes these controversies, which range from debates over the ancient and medieval past to those in current literary and postcolonial theory. Scholarly, at times polemical, it is the most...
