Their ensuing strike paralyzed Silvertown for three months. The...

Crooked Deals and Broken Treaties: How American Indians Were Displaced by White Settlers in the Cuyahoga Valley
ISBN: 9781583675670 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Long before the smokestacks and factories of industrial Akron rose from Ohio's Cuyahoga Valley, the region was a place of tense confrontation. Beginning in the early 19th-century, white settlers began pushing in from the east, lured by the promise of cheap (or free) land. They inevitably came into conflict with the current inhabitants, American Indians who had thrived in the valley for generations or had already been displaced by settlement along the eastern seaboard. Here, on what was once the western fringe of the United States, the story of the country's founding and development played out...

France on the Mekong: A History of the Protectorate in Cambodia, 1863-1953
ISBN: 9780761824312 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Based on largely unexploited archival sources, France on the Mekong is the first comprehensive history of the colonial era in Cambodia. The book takes as its point of departure Marx's early appraisal of colonialism's "double mission" in Asia.
