The postmodern theorist Brenda Marshall has stated, “History in the postmodern moment becomes histories and stories.” Scholars have been interested in the stories that are not told and need to be reconstructed to reveal other stories that have been hidden and silenced for a long time, and, in some cases, they were written with ideological implications on the part of a dominant group in society. |
