Description
Robert Young's White Mythologies challenges the very concepts of history and the West, questioning whether it is possible to write history that avoids Eurocentrism. This influential work explores the relationship between history, culture and power.
First published in 1990, this book has had a significant impact on postcolonial studies and continues to shape the field. The new edition includes a substantial new essay reflecting on changes in the field and the author's own position since publication.
A key text for academics and students working in postcolonial theory, literature and history, White Mythologies offers valuable insights into the complexities of cultural representation and historical narrative.
