ISBN: 9781463202439 / Angielski / Twarda / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych.

Islam and Postcolonial Discourse: Purity and Hybridity
ISBN: 9781472465443 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych.

The absence of a sophisticated recognition of the wide range of Islamic subjectivities within contemporary culture has created a void in which misinterpretations and hostilities thrive. Responding to the growing importance of religion, specifically Islam, as a cultural signifier in the formation of a postcolonial self, this multidisciplinary collection...
