ISBN: 9780520204751 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Christian Moderns: Freedom and Fetish in the Mission Encountervolume 1
ISBN: 9780520246522 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

It truly deserves a wide readership."--Dipesh Chakrabarty, author of "Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference"
