Western Continental Europe

Paperback. Points to the late work of Jacques Derrida, the writing by and about him in the period roughly from 1994 to 2004.

Num Pages: 200 pages. BIC Classification: 1DDF; 3JJP; DSB; HPCF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 99 x 15. Weight in Grams: 404.
