ISBN: 9783805006248 / Angielski / Twarda / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Having captured the village of Kokoda with its vital airstrip, the Japanese...

Drawing on Korean and Japanese texts ranging from critical essays to short stories produced in the colonial and postcolonial periods, it analyzes the ways in which Japanese colonial and Korean nationalist discourse pivoted on such concepts as...
