Postmodernity's Histories

Postmodernity's Histories

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Challenges to the conventional study of history have been raised by the recent paradigm of globalization and by new intellectual transformations linked to postmodernism and postcolonialism. In this book the noted historian Arif Dirlik argues for a new approach to the practice of historical research. Moving beyond mere critique, he synthesizes traditional historical methods with new approaches that emphasize historical memory, indigenous writing, place based history, and the dual processes of integration and fragmentation in a globalized world.

About the Author
Arif Dirlik is currently professor of history and adjunct professor of cultural anthropology at Duke University.
