Abstract
Purpose
This paper reviews and assesses the aim, substance, and impact of Simon Susen’s book, “The Postmodern Turn” in the Social Sciences.
Methodology/approach
The review follows the structure of Susen’s book, by description and by evaluation.
Findings
Susen’s book encompasses a very large volume of literature of the self-defined “postmodern,” then concludes that the covered material has contributed little that is new to the social sciences.
Originality/value
The review has not been previously published, does not replicate any prior assessment known to the author.
