Description
Refiguring History: New Thoughts on an Old Discipline
Keith Jenkins challenges traditional notions of historical study in this thought-provoking work. He argues that objective and disinterested histories, as well as the concept of 'historical truth', are unattainable.
Jenkins presents a radical new approach to understanding the past, one that encourages bold and innovative thinking. This book is essential reading for students and teachers of history, offering a fresh perspective on the discipline and its core principles.
