The African Genius
ISBN: 9780821416051 / Angielski / Miękka / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Davidson's depiction of the sophisticated native genius that has carried Africans through centuries of change is...

His U.S.-based Universal Negro Improvement Association worked with the Liberian government to create a homeland for African Americans.

The six contributions in this volume were compiled as a result of the thirtieth Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lecture held at the University of Texas at Arlington. The contributors, nationally recognized in the field,...
