White Mythologies – Writing History and the West
An essential read for all those working in postcolonial theory, literature and history, this book cemented Young’s reputation as one of the country’s most influential scholars and, as a new preface by Homi Bhabha comments, made an original and invaluable intervention in the field, leading even the most established figures to rethink their own positions. Provoking further re-evaluation with the new introductory essay, this second edition will like its predecessor be a key text for every academic and student in the field.
