Thabo Mbeki - President of South Africa - has advocated unity with global justice movement activists. "They may act in ways you and I may not like and break windows in the street, but the message they communicate relates." This raises critical questions.

This new edition of Talk Left, Walk Right answers both questions in the negative. With incomparable political cartoons, the book considers the dynamics of international...

South Africa - The Present as History: From Mrs Ples to Mandela and Marikana
ISBN: 9781847011350 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

This book looks at this paradox by examining the precise character of the post-apartheid state, and the...
