The Indian Periodical Press and the Production of Nationalist Rhetoric
ISBN: 9780230116597 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Sukeshi Kamra deftly shows that the increasingly antagonistic relationship between the press and colonial regime is where and how a nationalist public...
