The Failure of Democratic Politics in Fiji
ISBN: 9780198273226 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Using the techniques of the historian, the anthropologist, and the political theorist, Lawson discusses the contemporary political situation in Fiji from both a historical and theoretical viewpoint. Drawing on archival material and fieldwork, she traces the sources of the current divisions in Fiji to the well-intentioned, but ultimately misguided, ambitions of colonial administrators to protect the way of life of indigenous Fijians.

Stanislaw Brzozowski and the Polish Beginnings of 'Western Marxism'
ISBN: 9780198273288 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book introduces the English-speaking reader to the thought of Stanislaw Brzozowski (1878-1911), an outstanding Polish philosopher and literary critic. Although little known in the West, Brzozowski is an important forerunner of the intellectual tradition of "Western Marxism" most commonly associated with Georg Lukacs and Antonio Gramsci. Walicki argues that Brzozowski's antinaturalistic approach resulted in a radical reinterpretation of Marxism that dealt with many of the problems of the revolt against positivism in European philosophy, and that it was Brzozwski, not Lukacs, who initially...
