ISBN: 9780806153964 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Christian churches erected in Mexico during the early colonial era represented the triumph of European conquest and religious domination. Or did they?

The Politics of Giving in the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata: Donors, Lenders, Subjects, and Citizens
