Searching for Home Abroad: Japanese Brazilians and Transnationalism
ISBN: 9780822331124 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the first half of the twentieth century, Japanese immigrants entered Brazil by the tens of thousands.

The Truth about Patriotism
ISBN: 9780822340898 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The Truth about Patriotism" is a bracing repudiation of the claim that patriotism is essential--or even beneficial--to democracy. Contending that even at its best patriotism subverts the democracy it purports to value, Steven Johnston turns to patriotism's defenders to show how they must jettison much of democracy to champion patriotism. Closely examined, patriotism itself effectively demonstrates the impossibility of love of country. Patriotism, Johnston argues, tends toward narcissistic self-regard, blind to its violent ways of being in the world and its dependence on death. Thus we would...

ISBN: 9780826428370 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nationalism has long excited debate in political and social sciences and still remains a key field of research among historians, anthropologists, sociologists, as well as political scientists. In the time of the European integration, and particularly as a result of the recent crisis of the European constitution, it has become one of the critical media issues.

Imagining Indonesia: Cultural Politics and Political Culture
ISBN: 9780896801905 / Angielski / Miękka / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Increased interest in Indonesian culture and politics is reflected in this work's effort to advance and reject various notions of what it means to be Indonesian. It also addresses perceptions of how Indonesia's citizens and state officials should interact. Because, in recent times, the Indonesian state has been so strong, much of the book is about state-sanctioned and state-supported notions of Indonesian identity and culture and efforts to come to terms with or sometimes to challenge these official or dominant notions.
The contributions presented here represent a wide range of... Increased interest in Indonesian culture and politics is reflected in this work's effort to advance and reject various notions of what it means to be ...

Nationalism, Violence and Democracy: The Basque Clash of Identities
ISBN: 9781403902658 / Angielski / Twarda / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ludger Mees offers the first comprehensive study of one of Europe's most protracted ethnic conflicts. He carefully analyses both the historical roots of the conflict and its later growing violent dimension. Special attention is paid to the framing of a new opportunity structure during the 1990s, which facilitated the first serious, but ultimately frustrated, attempt to broker a settlement. In the light of different theoretical and comparative approaches, the reasons for the dramatic return of terrorism and the possibilities of a more successful conflict de-escalation in the near future are...

Constructing Ethnopolitics in the Soviet Union: Samizdat, Deprivation, and the Rise of Ethnic Nationalism
ISBN: 9781403961914 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The nationality question was long central to Soviet thought and policy, and the failure to provide a convincing answer played a major role in the break up of the Soviet Union into ethnically or nationally defined states. Dina Zisserman-Brodsky explores various explanations of nationalism and its resurgence through a close examination of dissident writings of diverse ethnic groups in the former Soviet Union, thereby bridging macro-theory with micro-politics.

The Nationalism Reader
ISBN: 9781573926232 / Angielski / Miękka / 383 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The proclamation of a New World Order, hailed at the end of the cold war, coincided with an eruption of nationalism. The withering of the bipolar balance of power has created a vacuum that has been filled by a new tide of ethnic conflict in the former Soviet Union, the Balkans, Somalia, and elsewhere. Despite general recognition of this resurgent phenomenon, there is neither widespread awareness nor expert consensus on the meaning and origins of nationalism. The Nationalism Reader depicts the historical evolution of nationalist thought in the words of leading political actors and thinkers....

ISBN: 9781845110307 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why did Israel shift from a state based on pioneering egalitarianism and ""making the desert bloom"" to one which is chiefly known for its military prowess? Colin Shindler examines Israel's shift to the right at the hands of Menachem Begin, the supposed ""disciple"" of Vladimir Jabotinsky. He demonstrates through previously unpublished sources how Israel drifted away from Jabotinsky's ideas towards a maximalist Zionism promoted by Begin.
