Citizens Without Shelter: Homelessness, Democracy, and Political Exclusion
ISBN: 9780801472909 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most troubling aspects of the politics of homelessness, Leonard C.

Feldman's book brings political theories together (including theories of sovereign power, justice, and pluralism) with...
