ISBN: 9780822315476 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever since the founders drafted "We the People," "we" have been at pains to work out the contradictions in their formulation, to fix in words precisely what it means to be American.

In diverse ways, very different writers including Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville, Harriet Wilson, W. E. B....
