Postmodernism is an essential approach to History. This is the
first dedicated primer on postmodernism for the historian. It
offers a step-by-step guide to postmodern theory, includes a guide
to how historians have applied the theory, and provides a review of
why its critics are wrong. In simple and clear language, it takes
the reader through the chain of theory that developed in the 20th
century to become now, in the early 21st century, the leading
stimulant of new forms of research in History. With separate
chapters on The Sign, The Discourse, Post/Structuralism, The Text,
The Self, and Morality, this book will encourage a new critical
awareness of Theory when reading books of History, and when writing
essays and dissertations. Armed with the principal ideas of
Saussure, Barthes, Foucault, and Derrida, the historians can
formulate how to combine empirical History with the excitement of
fresh perspectives and new skills, merged in the new moral impetus
of the postmodern condition. Designed for the beginner this is the
essential postmodern starting point.
