Justice and the American Metropolis
ISBN: 9780816676132 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Today's American cities and suburbs are the sites of "thick injustice"--unjust power relations that are deeply and densely concentrated as well as opaque and seemingly intractable.
