Asian American and Pacific Histories

The failure of nations to win wars they fight has a profound effect on the way their prewar history is studied and evaluated. After the traumas of a two-decade military involvement in Southeast Asia, American revisionist historians have recently unleashed a barrage of critical assessments of modern American history and its chroniclers. The revisionists' artillery has been aimed particularly at earlier historians who characterized contemporary American history in positive terms, or presumed the existence of noble and moral principles at the core of “what America has stood for.” The revisionists contend that the “objectivity” of their predecessors has been anything but objective or disinterested, and paradoxically, many have also sought to affirm the legitimacy of “subjective history.”
