Constructing the Holocaust: A Study in Historiography
ISBN: 9780853034902 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Constructing the Holocaust examines the development of Holocaust historiography in the light of recent critical philosophy of history.

It also shows that examining our representations of the past is as important as archival research for understanding history. The problem under investigation is the paradox of using tools and methods inherited from western civilization in order to write about a set of events - the Holocaust - that impugn fundamental tenets of that very...
