Post Modernism is Not What You Think by Charles C Lemert

Highly readable and elegantly composed, Postmodernism Is Not What You Think gently demolishes the most malicious misconceptions of the subject by explaining why the postmodern is so emotionally and politically disturbing. Lemert shows that the postmodern is less a theory than a condition of social life brought about by the trouble modernity has landed itself in.Globalization, the media and popular culture, identity politics, the science wars, politics and cultural studies, structuralism and poststructuralism, and the new sociologies are put in lucid perspective as signs of the new social formations dawning at the end of the modern age.
