Disassembling and Decolonizing School in the Pacific: A Genealogy from Micronesia
ISBN: 9789400746725 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

At the age of 24 he remains the youngest ever Chair of Classical Philosophy at the University of Basel. But he rarely gained the respect he deserved within his lifetime. That has since been...
