Today's challenge to the great divide between mass culture and modernism goes by the name of the postmodern. Huyssen argues that postmodernism itself cannot be regarded as a radical break with the past, as its artistic and political strategies are deeply indebted to that other trend within the culture of modernity - the historical avant garde. But neither can it be seen simply as a continuation of that ever renewed revolt of modernism/avantgardism against itself. 'Andreas Huyssen's After the Great Divide is a brilliant, exhilarating book ...A major work of theoretical and interpretive scholarship.' Edward W.Said
