Deracination: Historicity, Hiroshima, and the Tragic Imperative

Challenging conventional views of history, this work critiques the discipline's theoretical foundations through the lens of significant thinkers like Foucault and White. It addresses the ongoing crisis in historical writing and aims to establish a new theoretical framework for understanding history. By focusing on the trauma of Hiroshima, the book examines how historical narratives often repress the profound impact of such events, advocating for a re-evaluation of how histories are constructed and communicated.
