Download or read book The Degradation of American History written by David Harlan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American historical writing has traditionally been one of our primary forms of moral reflection. However, David Harlan argues that in the disillusionment following the 1960s, history abandoned its redemptive potential and took up the methodology of the social sciences. In this provocative new book, Harlan describes the reasons for this turn to objectivity and professionalism, explains why it failed, and examines the emergence of a New Traditionalism in American historical writing. Part One, "The Legacy of the Sixties," describes the impact of literary theory in the 1970s and beyond, the rise of women's history, the various forms of ideological analysis developed by historians on the left, and the crippling obsession with professionalism in the 1980s. Part Two, "The Renewal of American Historical Writing," focuses on the contributions of John Patrick Diggins, Hayden White, Richard Rorty, Elaine Showalter, Henry Louis Gates Jr., and others. Harlan argues that at the end of the twentieth century American historical writing is perfectly poised to become what it once was: not one of the social sciences in historical costume, but a form of moral reflection that speaks to all Americans. "[A] wholly admirable work. This book will be talked about for years."—Library Journal

Download or read book Divided Loyalties written by Richard M. Ketchum and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2003-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the outset, the Revolution was a civil war, cruelly dividing families and friends. The dense, compact character of 1760s New York City - a maritime community of about 18,000 souls - brought those divisions into stark relief. As Ketchum shows us, it was, then as now, a city whose lifeblood was commerce and whose consuming interest was money. However, money was to be made - and its interests defended - in different ways. The DeLanceys were Anglican, well-connected, urban merchants, and they threw in their lot with the crown. Their long-time rivals, the Presbyterian Livingstons, were landed Hudson River gentry and patriots. Both felt the pinch of London's new taxes. But beyond pecuniary matters, both had deeply held convictions about good and just government and proper relations with the other country. The irony was that the allegiance of loyalist and patriot alike was not to the king or to England, but to what they saw as their own country - America."--BOOK JACKET.
