In 1990, Robert Young's White Mythologies set out to question the
very concepts of history and the West. His reflections on these
topics provided some of the most important new directions in
postcolonial studies and continue to exert a huge influence on the
field. This new edition reprints what has quickly become a classic
text, along with a substantial new essay reflecting on changes in
the field and in the author's own position since publication.
An essential read for all those working in postcolonial theory,
literature and history, this book cemented Young's reputation as
one of the discipline's most influential scholars and, as a new
preface by Homi Bhabha comments, made an original and invaluable
intervention in the field, leading even the most established
figures to rethink their own positions. Provoking further
re-evaluation with the new introductory essay, this second edition
will, like its predecessor, be a key text for every academic and
student in the field.
