Summary of address before the New History Society, January 17th,
New York City

If that doesn't sound like a Communist history revision organization, I don't know
what does (e.g., the pictoral book "The Commissar Vanishes").

Some time I heard something like this: In America the present and future are always
changing; in the Soviet Union, it's history that's always being altered.

"New History" is pretty mainstream, too. It's all over most college history programs. The emphasis is less on the dead white guys who did important things and more on the milleu of the era- fads, fashions, slang, the woman's experience, notions, beliefs, worldviews etc. All interesting in their own right but not a substantive substitute for the "old" history.
