The New Racism in Europe: A Sicilian Ethnography
ISBN: 9780521584937 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Immigration is among the most contested issues in Western Europe. Studies commonly focus on political activity and the plight of minorities, but this book breaks new ground in its emphasis on the everyday reactions of Italians to immigration, nationalism and racism. Drawing on research carried out in Palermo, Jeffrey Cole considers the ambivalent responses of rich and poor Sicilians to immigrants. He places Italian attitudes in a European context, and investigates why anti-immigrant politics are concentrated in the wealthy Italian North.

ISBN: 9780333712443 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book reviews a wide range of aspects of population migration, and their impacts on British society, from Tudor times to the main phase of the Industrial Revolution.

Postcoloniality: The French Dimension
ISBN: 9781845452520 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Gradually, a gulf has emerged between Anglophone and Francophone thinking in this area. The author investigates the causes for the apparent stagnation that has overtaken much of the current debate and explores the particular characteristics of French global strategy and cultural policy, as well as...
