Description

Deconstructing History by Alun Munslow provides an excellent introduction to the debates and issues of postmodernist history. This second edition has been updated and revised, offering a comprehensive analysis of the subject. The book assesses the claims of history as a form of 'truthful' explanation, discusses the limits of conventional historical thinking and practice, and examines the responses of the 'new empiricists' to its central arguments. It also explores the arrival of 'experimental history' and its implications, clarifying the utility of addressing key thinkers such as Michael Foucault and Hayden White. With an updated glossary and revised bibliography, this edition strengthens the analysis of Frank R. Ankersmit's recent work, making it a valuable resource for students studying history and its practice.
