Re-thinking history by Keith jenkins
No Reviews
Book Overview
In Rethinking History, Jenkins explores the idea that “history” is not the past itself, but a representation of the past constructed through language and interpretation. He critiques the notion that historians can uncover a single, true account of events. Instead, he emphasizes that historical writing is influenced by ideology, power structures, and cultural context.
The book engages with key debates in historiography, drawing on postmodern thinkers and questioning established historical methodologies. Jenkins encourages readers to see historical texts as narratives—similar in some ways to literature—rather than neutral, factual records. This approach shifts the focus from “what happened” to “how and why stories about the past are told.”
