understanding postmodernism

These books span multiple disciplines: social science and sociology, religion and theology, philosophy, art history, and education — reflecting social-theoretical, theological, philosophical, artistic, and educational approaches to postmodernism.

The listed editions are offered in the two standard bindings: hardcover and paperback.

They target adult and academic readers—students, PhD candidates, and scholars—with many listings noting a suggested age of 22 years and up.

They describe a shift from a modern, unitary, coherent self toward a more fluid, decentralized, and fragmented subject with multiple identities. Several also address the materiality and embodiment of the subject, especially within poststructuralist feminist frameworks.

Some titles address globalization and migration and adopt comparative frameworks; at least one volume explicitly provides a comparative perspective that covers contexts in 15 countries.
