ISBN: 9780822333043 / Angielski / Twarda / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Look Away considers the U.S. South in relation to Latin America and the Caribbean. Given that some of the major characteristics that mark the South as exceptional within the United States including the legacies of a plantation economy and slave trade are common to most of the Americas, Look Away points to postcolonial studies as perhaps the best perspective from which to comprehend the U.S. South.

ISBN: 9780810879058 / Angielski / Twarda / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In the 20th century, the United States occupied the...
