This textbook provides an evaluation and overview of the state of history as it is imagined, conceptualised and practised today. Written by one of the leading 'postmodern historians' working today, the book represents a provocative re-thinking of our engagement with the past. From its explicit postmodern position the book addresses the significance of the difference between 'the past' and 'history'.
