Make a Beautiful Way: The Wisdom of Native American Women
ISBN: 9780803260429 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Make a Beautiful Way is nothing less than a new way of looking at history or more correctly, the reestablishment of a very old way.

Even when myopic western linearity is understood to be at work, analysis of Native American history, society, and culture has still been consistently placed in male custody. The recovery of women s traditions is the overarching theme in this collection of essays that helps reframe Native...
