Εκδότης: SEVEN STORIES PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3773-0033

According to Graves, "English literature, to be properly understood... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

Εκδότης: SEVEN STORIES PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3773-0036

A GRAPHIC NOVEL CONVERSATION WITH NOAM CHOMSKY ILLUSTRATED BY ELISEU GOUVEIA
Εκδότης: SEVEN STORIES PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3773-0034

The Instinct for Cooperation innovatively balances those real-life stories of struggle with conversations the author has had with Chomsky on how best to understand them. Although the themes are wide-ranging, this book is ultimately about the importance and need for spaces of resistance in countering state and other institutional forms of violence. For example,...
