And so many ones which get told in a different light. I even see it within the history major at Yale. I see maps from the 4th Century with names of empires in Europe, Asia, the Middle East...but when you look at just south of the former part of the Roman Empire in North Africa, there is nothing. Just gray. No names. No anything. I hate that certain parts of history are selectively forgotten. Those who don't study the past are condemned to repeat it. And I would love to use my yale history degree to better our understanding of our history, which is so often ignored. Get at me.Jarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237725101834658474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121143914762345890.post-34325295115835402282007-04-16T11:43:00.000-05:002007-04-16T11:43:00.000-05:00awesome post.awesome post.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712404568928487439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121143914762345890.post-15842363164374940982007-04-16T01:53:00.000-05:002007-04-16T01:53:00.000-05:00Revisionist history is the truth.It's the only way...Revisionist history is the truth.<BR/>It's the only way we can tell our stories.<BR/><BR/>We need to work on a nationwide progressive textbook movement. I've talked about this with some professors, and it'd be pretty hard but also worth it. First, there needs to be a progressive textbook that we could assign students. Then, we'd need to do individual schoolboard campaigns explaining why the switch would be beneficial. For context. In one case, a single sentence (about indigenous women being raped in S. West America from John Mack Faragher's edition American History textbook) kept it from being ratified. However, I always hear in classes that people wished their high school would have taught them a more honest depiction of America and the world. I'm hoping some testimonials and college statistics will help persuade these boards. I'm thinking about starting the campaign the summer after I graduate.
