ISBN: 9780742553576 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Since the end of the Second World War, Southeast Asia has served as a surrogate space to further American imperial interests, which are...

ISBN: 9781496206411 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What, James A. Tyner asks, separates the murder of a runaway youth from the death of a father denied a bone-marrow transplant because of budget cuts? Moving beyond our culture's reductive emphasis on whether a given act of violence that results in a person's death is intentional - and may therefore count as murder - Tyner interrogates the broader forces that produce violence.

Space, Place, and Violence: Violence and the Embodied Geographies of Race, Sex and Gender
ISBN: 9780415880855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Direct, interpersonal violence is a pervasive, yet often mundane feature of our day-to-day lives; paradoxically, violence is both ordinary and extraordinary. Violence, in other words, is often hidden in plain sight. Space, Place, and Violence seeks to uncover that which is too apparent: to critically question both violent geographies and the geographies of violence. With a focus on direct violence, this book situates violent acts within the context of broader political and structural conditions. Violence, it is argued, is both a social and spatial practice. Adopting a geographic... Direct, interpersonal violence is a pervasive, yet often mundane feature of our day-to-day lives; paradoxically, violence is both ordinary and extr... |

This timely and persuasive book argues that the Philippines' recent foreign policy must be understood by considering three factors: the crucial role of overseas employment to the Philippine economy, the mendicant relationship between the Philippines and the United States, and the Catholicism of Philippine President Gloria...
