White Mythologies: Writing, History and the West

White Mythologies: Writing, History and the West

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Beginning with Helene Cixous' indictment of history as a"story of Phallocentrism, " Young investigates the different concepts and operations of "history" Western thought--from classical and critical Marxism through post-colonial critiques of Eurocentrism. He traces the various attempts by Hegel, Marx, Lukacs, and Sartre to produce a more coherent theory of history, and more recent efforts by Althusser and Foucault to produce a "non-historici st" history. Ultimately, White Mythologies argues that all attempts to write history as a single narrative are doomed to failure.
