Barry Smart
'His short book is an extremely useful introduction to the debates
surrounding postmodernism ...' - Social Science Teacher
'Barry Smart's book is written for students ... it manages to
present conflicting theories with neat persuasiveness while making
the author's reservations clear.' - The Modern Review
'This is an illuminating, sober and knowledge-enhancing account
which may well be a milestone in the twisted road of our times to
self-understanding ... [Smart's] feat will be welcomed by thousands
of professionals, students and members of the enlightened public
alike. Smart renders a priceless service to his readers, having
digested on their behalf the enormous literature and sifted out
everything valuable and important. Smart's 'career report' of the
debate is comprehensive, critical yet fair, and expressed in
jargon-free language.' - Zygmunt Bauman, Political Studies
