Today, Zainichi-themed works have never had a higher profile, with new works...

Odczytując na nowo dzieło czternastowiecznego historyka Ibn Chalduna, Hamit Bozarslan oddał całą aktualność i przenikliwość jego analizy. Czyż niedawny upadek rządów Ben Alego w Tunezji i Mubaraka w Egipcie nie znajduje wytłumaczenia w tym, co myśliciel ten określa mianem „rutynizacji” władzy, prowadzącej do trzeciej i zarazem ostatniej fazy wszelkiej dominacji? Jako teoretyk... Ktoś może rzec: „Znowu Ibn Chaldun?” Tak właśnie, Ibn Chaldun raz jeszcze i dotąd, dopóki jego dzieło pozwala na sprzeczne interpretacje, ...

Asia and the Great War: A Shared History
ISBN: 9780199658190 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is no single volume that shines a light on Asia's collective involvement in the First World War, and the impact that war had on its societies. Moreover, no volume in any language explores the experiences Asian countries shared as they became embroiled, with divergent results, in the war and its repercussions. Asia and the Great War moves beyond the national or even international level by presenting a 'shared' history from non-national and transnational perspectives. Asian involvements make the Great War not only a true 'world' war but also a 'great' war. The war generated...

Colbert, Mercantilism, and the French Quest for Asian Trade
ISBN: 9780875807584 / Angielski / Miękka / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This examination of French trade with Asia analyzes France's attempt to establish a mercantile empire in the East by breaking into the lucrative market of the Indian Ocean. Between 1664 and 1674, France advanced a vigorous strategy of commerce and colonization. It founded the powerful East India Company and constructed a large royal fleet as the principal instrument for entrenching French power in Asia. Drawing on archival sources, Ames offers a new interpretation of France's mercantilism in the context of the rise of the world market economy of the early modern period. This study sheds new...
