ISBN: 9780739114483 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Rainbow Jews deals with the intersection of gay and Jewish identity in American and Israeli film and theater, from the 1960s to the present.

The History of Genocide in Cinema: Atrocities on Screen
ISBN: 9781784534226 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The organization "Genocide Watch" estimates that 100 million civilians around the globe have lost their lives as a result of genocide in only the past sixty years. Over the same period, the visual arts - in the form of documentary footage - has aided international efforts to document genocide and prosecute those responsible.

This provocative work offers an anthropological analysis of the phenomenon of political correctness, both as a general phenomenon of communication, in which associations in space and time take precedence over the content of what is communicated, and at specific critical historical conjunctures at which new elites attempt to redefine social reality. Focusing on the crises over the last thirty years of immigration and multiculturalist politics in Sweden, the book examines cases, some in which the author was himself involved, but also comparative material from other countries.

System, Structure, and Contradiction: The Evolution of 'Asiatic' Social Formations
ISBN: 9780761989349 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The first edition of System, Structure, and Contradiction was an important step in merging the materialist determinism of the structuralist Marxists with the cultural, ideological approach favored by anthropologists. By reconciling these two traditionally warring schools of thought, the author provided a more nuanced understanding of the various factors that drive social change and social complexity. Though viewed through the lens of an ethnographic and historical case study of the Kachin of Burman, Friedman's theory has had a major impact on the work of archaeologists, anthropologists,...

ISBN: 9780813120430 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Lion and the Star not only offers an informed glimpse into the intricacies of daily German life but also confirms the continuing danger of making sweeping generalizations about German Jews and non-Jews. In the aftermath of World War II, many viewed the Third Reich as an aberration in German history and laid blame with Hitler and his followers. Since the 1960s, historians have widened their focus, implicating "ordinary" Germans in the demise of German Jewry.
