ISBN: 9783838308234 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines the distinct approaches to the Byzantine legacy in Turkish historiography offered by three leading Turkish historians: Fuat Koprulu, Omer Lutfi Barkan and Halil Inalcik, protagonists of three distinct eras of republican/nationalist Turkish historiography, as well as the most significant (in their historical scholarship and in their creation of master narratives) historians of the nation-state.

The Iconography of Visual Culture and Pedagogical Approaches to Seeing
ISBN: 9783838306247 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Iconography of Visual Culture examines the imagery of woodcuts and engravings in the early modern period revealing that there was a distinctive iconographical scheme that developed in English visual culture in response to Post-Reformation Protestantism. The need to make a distinction between the "true" religion of Protestantism and the "false" religion of England's past heritage was essential in establishing a new faith which would eventually impact upon all levels of society. Visual expressions of piety, salvation, sin, martyrdom and anti-Catholicism supported and enhanced the textual...

Slave Emancipation and Colonialism
ISBN: 9783838307336 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Presbyterian missionaries willing to stop the slave trade penetrated a remote part of Africa in the 1870s. They became enmeshed in a political arena in which European firearms and trading goods attracted Africans more than the Gospel. Missionaries soon became entangled in local warfare with groups which were involved in slave trade. When the safety of the Scottish missions was seriously threatened by slave raiders, missionaries asked for a British military intervention. Evangelists and military officers were often at odds. Whereas missionaries expected their African converts to ...

Discovery of Oil in the Minds and the Lands of the Ottoman Empire
ISBN: 9783838354040 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of oil in the Ottoman Empire is not limited to the rich oil reserves in Mosul and Bagdad. The Sultan Abdulhamid II had to deal not only with great powers that were after rich oil reserves but also with modest entrepreneurs who dreamt of setting up smaller oil wells. This book focuses on this other, overlooked aspect of the story of oil, i.e., on the granting of a concession for a small oil field that put in motion the huge apparatus of the State. The aim of the book is to analyze the impact of the (discovery of) oil in Erzurum Pulk on the actors of the systems ...

Russian Geopolitical Utopias in Comparative Perspective
ISBN: 9783838372235 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines the phenomenon of geopolitical utopianism in the 'Age of Empire', i.e. in the last three decades before the First World War. Russian utopian tradition and the evolution of geopolitical thinking are in the focus of the research. The author argues that geopolitical utopias, understood as models of improving one's country's international position by means of war, colonialism, and territorial expansion, were tightly connected with right-wing ideologies. The work shows that the defenders of the old regime in Russia experienced problems in imagining the future of the Empire....

Since the birth of the United States, America's relationship with Cuba has undergone many stages. Whether the view has been favorable or not, Cuba's proximity has kept America's eye on the island.

Propaganda and the People
ISBN: 9783838321370 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the years 1946 to 1954, the Vietnamese people largely succeeded in repelling a European invader, the French colons, who fought to re-establish a French colony in that land. The Vietnamese fight was led by an indigenous organisation called the Vi t Minh, an alliance of a number of groups, chief among them being the Indochinese Communist Party, which succeeded in carrying the bulk of the Vietnamese people along with them. One reason why they were able to do this was the success of the materials of persuasion, the propaganda, that they used. It was aimed squarely at the ordinary people, and...

Accidental Feminists
ISBN: 9783838353340 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of major nationwide womens organizations in the postwar era provides important insight into American feminism. While they were challenged by a conservative political climate, these large groups remained vibrant and prepared the ground for liberal activism to flourish in the 1960s. With women as the vast majority of nurses, the American Nurses Association discovered that it could not promote better nursing and improved working conditions without elevating the status of women workers and without addressing the issue of racism within health care. The American Association...

Holding Corporate America's Feet to the Fire
ISBN: 9783838359441 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The hope and future of America lies with its radicals." Saul Alinsky wrote these words in his book Reville for Radicals, which is a guide to organizing working class communities. He wrote these words in 1946 amid a new boom in the American economy after World War Two. Renewed optimism was in the hearts of many war veterans as they placed their hope in the GI Bill. Although the war confirmed America as a world super power and gave spirited faith in the American dream, there was a concurrent narrative unfolding. Social disparities persisted as many ethnic and working class groups remained...

The Origins and Development of the Zimbabwean Crisis
ISBN: 9783838344225 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How did Zimbabwe, a country once regarded as a paragon of hope and development in Africa, descend into economic ruin and social chaos in less than a decade? Maxwell Zhiras book offers a comprehensive answer to this controversial question, going beyond the widespread, yet limited perception that Robert Mugabe is the sole architect of Zimbabwes troubles. Zhira provides a more nuanced picture, which explores and emphasizes the role of colonial land alienation, racism, and tyrannical governance. He shows how these are entangled with the recent revival of militant nationalism in Zimbabwe, and its...

Following the Bolshevik Revolution in November of 1917, the United States ended diplomatic relations with Russia, and refused to recognize the Soviet regime until 1933. Given Russias vast size and importance on the world stage, Washington closely monitored the internal developments in that country during the non-recognition period. The American diplomats, stationed in revolutionary Russia and later, in the territories of friendlier nations surrounding the Soviet state, prepared regular reports addressing various aspects of life in the USSR. Under the guidance of the Eastern...
