Abstract

Just as Keith Jenkins insists that history is determined by "the politics of truth," so is his attempt to provide an introductory text for the student seeking answers to "What is history" and "What is the nature of history?" This brief volume, polemic in expression and deconstructionist in intent, requires close, even repeated reading. Jenkins is a lecturer in history at the West Sussex Institute of Higher Education and would necessarily be very familiar with the "New History" curriculum that has dominated the public schools of the United Kingdom in the last fifteen years.
