Animal Game: Searching for Wildness at the American Zoo
ISBN: 9780674737341 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The spread of empires in the nineteenth century brought more than new territories and populations under Western sway. Animals were also swept up in the net of imperialism, as jungles and veldts became colonial ranches and plantations. A booming trade in animals turned many strange and dangerous species into prized commodities. Tigers from India, pythons from Malaya, and gorillas from the Congo found their way--sometimes by shady means--to the zoos of major U.S. cities, where they created a sensation. Zoos were among the most popular attractions in the United States for much of the...

ISBN: 9780813533384 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the early 1900s, thousands of immigrants labored in New Yorks Lower East Side sweatshops, enduring work environments that came to be seen as among the worst examples of Progressive-Era American industrialization. Although reformers agreed that these unsafe workplaces must be abolished, their reasons have seldom been fully examined. "Sweated Work, Weak Bodies"is the first book on the origins of sweatshops, exploring how they came to represent the dangers of industrialization and the perils of immigration. It is an innovative study of the language used to define the sweatshop, how these...

Unpacking Tourism
ISBN: 9780822371007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Tourism shapes popular fantasies of adventure, structures urban and natural space, creates knowledge around difference, and demands an array of occupations servicing the insatiable needs of those who travel for leisure.

This issue posits a radical approach to the study of tourism, highlighting how tourism as a paradigmatic modern encounter bleeds into diplomacy, militarism, and empire building.

A New History of Tudor England: Essays for Students, Teachers, and Workers
ISBN: 9781527588714 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. People concerned with the history of education and the history of labor rights bring two premises to the table. First, that the history of education unfolds separately from the history of working class movements, and, second, that an historical period 400 years old is securely confined by the past. Surely the time known as Tudor England, most readers would say, rests in peace as a bygone era? Surely an educational system devised by scholars differs from an economic system operated by large landholders and manorial lords?This book challenges both premises. The Tudor educational system regarded...

Millions of laborers, from the Philippines to the Caribbean, performed the work of the United States empire.

ISBN: 9780415935616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a collection of work in the interdisciplinary field of sweatshop studies. It examines the changing understanding of the roots and problems with the sweatshop as well as exploring how the history of the American sweatshop is inexorably intertwined with global migration of capital, labour, ideas and goods. The American sweatshop may be located abroad but remains bound to the United States through ties of fashion, politics, labour and economics. The global character of the American sweatshop has presented a barrier to unionization and regulation. Anti-sweatshop campaigns have often...
