ISBN: 9780700624478 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Baker contends instead that the KKK based its justifications for hatred on a particular brand of Protestantism that resonated with mainstream Americans, one that employed burning crosses...

Utilising an oral history case study of sociability and identity in the Yorkshire town of Beverley between the end of the Second World War and the election...
