9780947493523 - Ragnar Redbeard: the Antipodean origins of radical fabulist Arthur Desmond (2 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: New. "Mark Derby does justice to the spectacularly farflung radical and reactionary lives and the larger still legends of Arthur Desmond in the only way possible. He gives us a settler capable of siding with indigenous people and a muckraker on fire against wealth and privilege. But he equally shows a man, and eventually a persona, best known for his worst words, whose self-promotions and transnational bigotry remained connected to former commitments while tragically betraying them. This is a thoroughly engaging work of historical detection and discernment." - David Roediger, Professor of American Studies and History, University of Kansas. 68 pages.
