ISBN: 9781472453716 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Young proposes a new set of terms with which to understand the racialized imaginary inscribed in the scholarly texts that presented the peoples of the south as objects of an inquiring gaze from the north. Through maps, images and even textual formatting, equivalences were established...
