ISBN: 9780810868465 / Angielski / Miękka / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Berbers are the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, but rarely have they formed an actual kingdom or separate nation state.

Taken together, these dynamics have over time converted to redefine the field of Berber identity and its socio-political representations and symbols, making it an even more important issue in the new century....

ISBN: 9780810868120 / Angielski / Miękka / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The chief targets of these regimes were leftists, especially armed guerrillas and their supporters, though the term "subversive" came to include anyone perceived to be a threat to the status quo. Unlike a conventional war fought against a physical enemy, a "dirty war" (guerra sucia) is fought against an ideology. The difficulty of rooting out such an unconventional...

The A to Z of the Inuit
ISBN: 9780810868229 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The approximately 150,000 Inuit are indigenous to four nations--Denmark (Greenland), Canada, the United States (Alaska), and Russia--and thus have had very different colonial experiences and participate as citizens of those nations in different ways. Far from being victims of colonialism, Inuit are actively involved in shaping their social environments. Nonetheless, modern social and political realities present Inuit with many of the same issues faced by distinct peoples around the world. This volume describes how Inuit as a single people, citizens of separate nations, and residents of...
