Description for Resistance in the Age of Austerity: Nationalism, the Failure of the Left and the Return of God
Paperback.

Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: JPF; JPW; KCP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 216 x 143 x 14. Weight in Grams: 242.

In this timely book, Worth assesses the growing diversity of resistance to ... Read more
