Some belong to America's distant past, but it was not so long ago that the civil rights movement began to correct America's troubled race relations.

American Dreams and Nazi Nightmares
ISBN: 9781584655497 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To a great extent, Holocaust consciousness in the contemporary United States has become intertwined with American Jewish identity and with support for right-wing Israeli politics -- but this was not always the case.

Fermaglich analyzes the lives and writings of Stanley M. Elkins, Betty...
