Product Description

Product Description

The 21st Century observed by the renowned New Statesman columnist; Through a collection of humorous but challenging essays, grounded in personal experience, observation and anecdote, Ziauddin Sardar analyses the key characteristics of the embryonic twenty-first century. From advertising to zapping, sex to shopping, toys to hype, The A-Z of Postmodern Life explores the ideas, products, artefacts and 'isms' that shape the undefined, but ever encompassing, global culture. By learning to read the message of postmodernism, the author suggests that we might discover whether this new century is heading off in the right direction or leading us all up a very dark alley.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for every thinking person!, 19 Aug 2002
By A Customer
A to Z of postmodernism should be part of every thinking persons library- this book on po-mo is not only lucid to read but also humorous at times. Its easily digestible parts covering different aspects of post-modern culture is made rich with its multi-faceted approach - criss-crossing from anthropology, sociology, history, politics to philosophy.

If you are baffled by the complexity of post-modernism- you will be rest assured that Zia will help you understand these complexities- as easy as ABC….

The book covers different aspects ranging from ‘politics’, ‘morality’, ‘sex’ and ‘zapping’ and is ideal for everyone.
