Toward Diversity and Emancipation: (Re-)Narrating Space in the Contemporary American Novel
ISBN: 9783837635089 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This brings about an integrative and emancipatory function of space, reflecting the current dynamic toward a more transcultural,...
