Joan Wallach Scott

On the Judgment of History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Joan Wallach Scott critically examines the belief that history will redeem us, revealing the implicit politics of appeals to the judgment of history. She argues that the notion of a linear, ever-improving direction of history hides the persistence of power structures and hinders the pursuit of alternative futures.
