Historians against History
Historians against History
U.S. historians from 1789 to 1945 defined America as a timeless state of nature. They were participants in the world of a transnational bourgeois culture. Historians in England, France, or Sweden described their nations as autonomous. They were committed to private property but not to international capitalism. After 1945 historians in the bourgeois nations now described their nations as part of an international capitalist culture. There was great confusion and anger during this revolution. From the 1960s to the present a number of U. S. historians have been critical of what they see as the dangerous ambition of our Presidents to make the United States the leader of international capitalism.
