Opis

In this sequel to Rethinking History, Keith Jenkins argues for a re-figuration of historical study. At the core of his survey lies the realization that objective and disinterested histories as well as historical 'truth' are unachievable. The past and questions about the nature of history remain interminably open to new and disobedient approaches. Jenkins reassesses conventional history in a bold fashion. His study presents new ways of thinking history, a methodology and philosophy and their impact on historical practice. This volume is written for students and teachers of history.
