Race and the Education of Desire: Foucault's History of Sexuality and the Colonial Order of Things
ISBN: 9780822316909 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michel Foucault s "History of Sexuality" has been one of the most influential books of the last two decades. It has had an enormous impact on cultural studies and work across many disciplines on gender, sexuality, and the body. Bringing a new set of questions to this key work, Ann Laura Stoler examines volume one of "History of Sexuality" in an unexplored light. She asks why there has been such a muted engagement with this work among students of colonialism for whom issues of sexuality and power are so essential. Why is the colonial context absent from Foucault s history of a European sexual...

The Memory of Trade: Modernity's Entanglements on an Eastern Indonesian Island
ISBN: 9780822324416 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Memory of Trade" is an ethnographic study of the people of Aru, an archipelago in eastern Indonesia. Central to Patricia Spyer's study is the fraught identification of Aruese people with two imaginary elsewheres--the 'Aru' and the 'Malay'--and the fissured construction of community that has ensued from centuries of active international trade and more recent encroachments of modernity.
Drawing on more than two years of archival and ethnographic research, Spyer examines the dynamics of contact with the Dutch and Europeans, Suharto's postcolonial regime, and with the competing...

Indonesian Cinema: National Culture on Screen
ISBN: 9780824813673 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A film-goer accustomed to the typical Hollywood movie plot would feel uneasy watching an Indonesian movie. Contrary to expectations, good guys do not win, bad guys are not punished, and individuals do not reach a new self-awareness. Instead, by the end of the movie order is restored, bad guys are converted, and families are reunited. Like American movies, Indonesian films reflect the understandings and concerns of the culture and era in which they are made. Thus Indonesian preoccupations with order and harmony, national unity, and modernization motivate the plots of many films. Cinema has not...

Overturned Chariot: The Autobiography of Phan-Boi-Chau
ISBN: 9780824818753 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The name of Phan-Boi-Chau may not be readily recognized by many people outside Vietnam, but within his own country he is one of the most widely known and respected figures in recent history. Phan (1867-1940) was the most prominent leader of the Vietnamese independence movement during the first quarter of the twentieth century and a living link between the older generation who initiated the struggle against French rule in Vietnam and the younger generation who carried that struggle to its conclusion. In 1928, while under house arrest by the French authorities, Phan composed an account of his...

Village on the Edge
ISBN: 9780824825218 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kragur village lies on the rugged north shore of Kairiru, a steep volcanic island just off the north coast of Papua New Guinea. In 1998 the village looked much as it had some twenty-two years earlier when author Michael French Smith first visited. But he soon found that changing circumstances were shaking things up. Village on the Edge weaves together the story of Kragur villagers' struggle to find their own path toward the future with the story of Papua New Guinea's travails in the post-independence era. Smith writes of his own experiences as well, living and working in Papua New Guinea and...

Antiwarriors: The Vietnam War and the Battle for America's Hearts and Minds
ISBN: 9780842028950 / Angielski / Twarda / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The antiDVietnam War movement marked the first time in American history that record numbers marched and protested to an antiwar tune_on college campuses, in neighborhoods, and in Washington. Although it did not create enough pressure on decision-makers to end U.S. involvement in the war, the movement's impact was monumental. It served as a major constraint on the government's ability to escalate, played a significant role in President Lyndon B. Johnson's decision in 1968 not to seek another term, and was a factor in the Watergate affair that brought down President Richard Nixon.

Lyndon B. Johnson's Vietnam Papers: A Documentary Collection
ISBN: 9780890967416 / Angielski / Twarda / 896 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The recent declassification of "top secret" Vietnam War papers of the Johnson administration provides an unusually intimate portrait of presidential decision making and fills an important gap in the literature on presidents and on the Vietnam War.
For years, the "Pentagon Papers" served as the most influential published collection of Vietnam-era policy making documents. However, as Vietnam scholar George McT. Kahin has written, the "Pentagon Papers" are "generally very sketchy and inadequate with respect to the political dimension; and for the critical years, 1964-1968, the gaps are...

Shadows of Vietnam: Lyndon's Johnson's Wars
ISBN: 9780890967478 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the day Lyndon Johnson stepped into the U.S. Presidency, he lived in the shadow of Vietnam. With all his skills as a hard-nosed politician, he should have been successful at waging war. Indeed, on the home front, with his War on Poverty, even in the Dominican Republic, he "was" successful. Yet in Vietnam he failed, in epic proportions. This is the paradox--the shadow-that frames Frank E. Vandiver's riveting examination of one of America's most fascinating and controversial presidents mired in the depths of Vietnam, our most complex and controversial war.
It is still not... From the day Lyndon Johnson stepped into the U.S. Presidency, he lived in the shadow of Vietnam. With all his skills as a hard-nosed politician, he sh...
