Dawson argues that anti-nuclear activism, one of the most dynamic social forces to emerge during these years, was primarily a surrogate for an ever-present nationalism and a means of demanding greater local self-determination under the Soviet system. Rather than representing strongly held environmental and anti-nuclear convictions, this activism was a...

ISBN: 9780822323853 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the early twentieth century, Peruvian intellectuals, unlike their European counterparts, rejected biological categories of race as a basis for discrimination. But this did not eliminate social hierarchies; instead, it redefined racial categories as cultural differences, such as differences in education or manners. In "Indigenous Mestizos " Marisol de la Cadena traces the history of the notion of race from this turn-of-the-century definition to a hegemony of racism in Peru.

Empire and Antislavery: Spain, Cuba and Puerto Rico, 1833-74
ISBN: 9780822956907 / Angielski / Miękka / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1872, there were more than 300,000 slaves in Cuba and Puerto Rico.

This book is an extensive study of the origins of the Abolitionist Society and its role in the destruction of Cuban and Puerto...
