ISBN: 9781845207489 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The identity of the Vezo is not fixed by descent; rather, it is established by what they do. They are people of the sea, distinguished from the farmers around them by their economic specialism.
