When Nationalism Began to Hate: Imagining Modern Politics in Nineteenth-Century Poland
ISBN: 9780195151879 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Porter argues instead that the penetration of communal hatred and social discipline into the rhetoric of nationalism must be explained, not merely assumed. Porter focuses on nineteenth-century Poland,...
