Japan's Colonialism and Indonesia
ISBN: 9789401185004 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rise and fall of the Japanese empire constitutes one of the most dramatic episodes of modern history. Within the short span of fifty years Japan grew out of political backwardness into a position of tremendous power. Japan's rise to power challenged Europe's hegemony over Asia, but, paradoxically, it was Japan's fall that caused the irreparable ruin of the colonial system over Eastern lands. Japan went to war against the West under the battlecry of Asia's liberation from European colonialism. In reality, for forty years, beginning with her first war against China, she had striven to...

Zero Hours: Conceptual Insecurities and New Beginnings in the Interwar Period
ISBN: 9782875741035 / Angielski / Miękka / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To cut off time and seal away the past, to proclaim a new beginning in the present and project a better future onto tomorrow and thus to make history is a key signature of modern social, political and cultural discourses. In this book, this practice is represented through the metaphor of the Zero Hour, which alludes to the wish to rebuild the past in the face of a crisis-ridden present characterised by growing conceptual insecurity, hoping for a more stable future. Indeed, the ever-new construction of our past, sequenced and ordered in explanatory narratives, bears witness to a future that...
