America's World Identity: The Politics of Exclusion
ISBN: 9781349416448 / Angielski / Miękka / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is America's national identity? This study offers a new perspective into this question.

The study provocatively draws upon poetry, literature, art, architecture, gangsta rap, landscape and cityscape to illuminate the construction of America's national identity and illustrates how this has been globalized in an increasingly post-modernist condition.
