<segment id="1" parent="2" relname="background">This book just appeared on my desk.</segment>
<segment id="2" parent="8" relname="span"> By Joyce Appleby (UCLA), Lynn Hunt
(Pennsyvania), and Margaret Jacob (The New School), _Telling the Truth
about History_ at first glance looks to be analogous to Gross and Levitt's
_Higher Superstition_. </segment>
<segment id="3" parent="2" relname="elaboration"> Three historians (like Gross and Levitt, two
scientists) complain about how history (rather than science) is misused
and misunderstood.</segment>
<segment id="4" parent="2" relname="elaboration"> The villains (and this I get from the blurbs on the
book jackets) are (1) unscrupulous popularizers (Oliver Stone by
implication), (2) "critics who dissolve the author herself into one among
many sources of meaning, reducing historical knowledge to a series of
texts engaged with each other, not with the past," and (3) "powerful
constituencies [that] call for histories that affirm more than inform." </segment>
<segment id="5" parent="2" relname="elaboration">
The key difference is that this critique of post-structuralist
methodologies and abuses of the multiculturalist program seems not to
descend into name calling and attacks on an "academic left" that really
doesn't seem to exist (at least as Gross and Levitt portray it).</segment>
<segment id="6" parent="9" relname="span">
I hope others on this list take a look at this book, and have
something to say about it on this list. </segment>
<segment id="7" parent="6" relname="elaboration"> Look especially at
its discussion of how the establishment of science as a model for
gaining objective truth influenced the development of the historical
enterprise beginning in the eighteenth century.</segment>
