This is a brilliant introduction to the concept of postmodernism in various different forms. Woods successfully weighs up various different views on a full range of arguments surrounding the subject with minimal bias, allowing the reader to pass their own judgement. My only criticism would be that the second chapter, exploring the philosophy surrounding the topic, is written fairly complexly, using terminology that most beginners would struggle with.

[Jonathan Winters · Rating 4 out of 5]

A choppy layout with interesting, open-ended questions, and still a smooth read. A survey of realms postmodernism has occurred in, with comparisons to modernism and providing brief pro/con arguments and a who's-who of key postmodern thinkers and doers.

A very thorough introduction, useful in my essay on postmodern texts.
