"Sceptical History famliarises readers with the postmodern critique of history whilst also focusing upon the question of how to practise postmodernist feminist (sceptical) history." "This book considers major themes including cultural, class and sexual identity and 'difference', weaving them into debates on the nature and methods of history. In so doing it arrives at new ways of doing 'history and theory' that do not exclude feminist approaches nor attention to non-Western history." "Helene Bowen Raddeker's arguments extend beyond the postmodernist critique of history to other aspects of postmodernist thinking, including the postcolonial challenge to humanism and eurocentric metanarratives of progress. Using a wide range of historical and cultural examples, she draws extensively on feminist scholarship and historiography." "Sceptical History provides an accessible guide to some of the most complex theories current today."--BOOK JACKET.
