Haunted City explores the history of racial impersonation in Philadelphia from the late eighteenth century through the present day.

Narrating War and Peace in Africa
ISBN: 9781580469135 / Angielski / Miękka / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Narrating War and Peace in Africa interrogates conventional representations of Africa and African culture -- mainly in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries -- with an emphasis on portrayals of conflict and peace. While Africa has experienced political and social turbulence throughout its history, more recent conflicts seem to reinforce the myth of barbarism across the continent: in Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, Chad, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Sudan. The essays in this volume address reductive and stereotypical assumptions of postcolonial...

The Mis-Education of the Negro
ISBN: 9781680920680 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Mis-Education of the Negro is a book originally published in 1933 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson.

He challenges his readers to become autodidacts and to do for themselves, regardless of what they were taught: History shows that it does not matter who is in power... those who have not learned to do for...
