Robert Porter

Meanderings Through the Politics of Everyday Life

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The key point of the book, ideally as well as practically, is to realize that there may be something potentially significant, and politically significant, in the very act of making such connections, of understanding the supposedly trite and trivial world of the everyday against a broader political backcloth.
