ISBN: 9781137029706 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The anti-apartheid struggle remains one of the most fraught episodes in the history of modern Jewish identity.

Today, however, the memory of apartheid bedevils the debate over Israel and Palestine, viewed by some as a cautionary tale for the Jewish state even as others decry the comparison as anti-Semitic. This pioneering history chronicles American Jewish involvement in the battle against...

Recently, and in line with South Africa's neo-liberal development tack, investment in the valley has generally turned from wine production to property speculation.

The addition of real estate development to an area of agricultural production around Boschendal provides the backdrop for...
