A propos de cet article

Uber scarce in the U.S. trade, there being currently no additional copies available on-line here. Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear to the glossy card-stock covers. The author, a specialist in mental health and identity issues, tackles the question as to the applicability of Hannah Arendt's theories of political violence and identity in post-Meiji Japanese history. The Table of Contents shows: Contents: 1.

Description de la boutique

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana. Structure, Verses, Agency Books…
