ISBN: 9780814756041 / Angielski / Twarda / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Even the most cursory review of black literary production during the nineteenth century indicates that its primary concerns were the issues of slavery, racial subjugation, abolitionist politics and liberation. How did the writers of these narratives -bear witness- to the experiences they describe? At a time when a hegemonic discourse on these subjects already existed, what did it mean to -tell the truth- about slavery?

James Baldwin Now
ISBN: 9780814756188 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) One of the most prolific and influential African American writers, James Baldwin was for many a harbinger of hope, a man who traversed the genres of art-writing novels, essays, and poetry. James Baldwin Now takes advantage of the latest interdisciplinary work to understand the complexity of Baldwin's vision and contributions without needing to name him as exclusively gay, expatriate, black, or activist. It was, in fact, Baldwin who said, -it is quite impossible to write a worthwhile novel about a Jew or a Gentile or a Homosexual, for people refuse . . . to function in so neat...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The legendary Greek figure Orpheus was said to have possessed magical powers capable of moving all living and inanimate things through the sound of his lyre and voice.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As early as 1914, in his pivotal essay "The World Problem of the Color Line," W.E.B.
