ISBN: 9781802077964 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We are all now entering into a new region of the world, which designates its sites on all the given and imaginable expanses, and of which only a few had been able to foresee in the distance its wanderings and obscurities. […] This region itself, we soon foresee, as difficult as it may seem to formulate its partition, is mixed in time as much as in space, a common site which hides another gap.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In Tropical Apocalypse, Martin Munro argues that since the earliest days of European colonization, Caribbean--and especially Haitian--history has been shaped by apocalyptic events so that the region has, in effect, been living for centuries in an end time without end. By engaging with the contemporary apocalyptic turn in Caribbean studies and lived reality, he not only provides important historical contextualization for a general understanding of apocalypse in the region but also offers an account of the state of Haitian society and culture in the decades before the 2010...

Listening to the Caribbean: Sounds of Slavery, Revolt, and Race
ISBN: 9781802070224 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Paying close attention to auditory elements in written accounts of slavery and revolts allows us to unlock the sounds that are registered and recorded there, so that not only does one gain a more sensorially full...
