Lowly has been writing on the "national question" to great acclaim for over 20 years.

The period immediately following World War I was one of great turbulence in German society. The widespread dislocation throughout the country following its defeat in the war left the German morale crushed; the allied countries' demand for reparations crippled the national economy. Russia was in the hands of the Bolsheviks and there was widespread fear that Germany would be next to fall to working-class revolutionaries. Writing between 1919 and 1923 as special correspondent for the "Manchester Guardian", Philips więcej...

The contributors to this book challenge the usual boundaries of 'post-colonial' theory. Focusing on American literature, they examine how America's own imperial history has shaped the literatures that have emerged from within America -- for instance, from Native American, Latino, Black and Asian-American writers. They contrast this with postcolonial literatures from countries whose history has been shaped by American colonialism -- from Canada, Central America and the Caribbean to Hawaii, Indonesia and Vietnam. In this way więcej...

This book redresses that balance: taken from documents produced by international human rights groups -- and assembled by the international journalist's organisation Reporters sans Frontieres -- it provides an authoritative account of human rights violations that have taken place on both więcej...

Nazism is usually depicted as the outcome of political blunders and unique economic factors: we are told that it could not be prevented, and that it will never be repeated. In this explosive book, Guido Giacomo Preparata shows that the truth is very different: using meticulous economic analysis, he demonstrates that Hitler's extraordinary rise to power was in fact facilitated -- and eventually financed -- by the British and American political classes during the decade following World War I. Through a close analysis of events więcej...

Currently the international debate on nation building is heavily dominated by US actors and authors, especially by writers więcej...
