	Schlesinger
		Schlesinger discusses three unfortunate consequences of this new ethnocentric upsurge: the misuse of history to glorify minority groups at the expense of the truth; the creation of new academic studies to glorify those minority groups; and a renewed segregation within our schools on the basis of race.
		Schlesinger is first and foremost a historian, and thus it should be no surprise that his book begins with an examination of the different ways in which marginalized and oppressed groups have both viewed America historically and have viewed history generally.
		Schlesinger's strongest (and perhaps most justified) criticism of multiculturalism is of some scholars' propensity for the use of "history as a weapon" for political ends; either the omission of unfortunate realities or the addition of events that simply didn't occur.

	Arthur Meier Schlesinger Sr.
		The senior Schlesinger's memoir, published in 1963 when the younger Schlesinger was making history as part of John Ken nedy's White House, reflected the optimism of a generation whose lives had coincided with America's transformation into a great world power and with the apparent victory of liberal and progressive values in American life.
		Schlesinger had already thrown himself into campaigns for progressive causes during his years of teaching at Ohio State and the University of Iowa.
		Schlesinger was well aware that some of his optimism reflected the tremendous improvement in the situation of university professors during his career.

	FT August/September 2001: The Last Liberal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Schlesinger’s insistence that his preferred program of democratic radicalism (he did not hesitate to use the terms “liberal” and “radical” interchangeably) be kept distinct from Marxism stemmed from his generation’s experience of Stalinist oppression.
		Schlesinger’s liberalism, for all its musings on Augustinian themes, was in the end, as the title of one of his later books put it, a “politics of hope,” and he perhaps underestimated the extent to which his Niebuhrian rejection of belief in human goodness and social progress undermined that hope.
		Schlesinger is not, on the evidence of his memoir, a man given to hatreds, but his writings, historical and political, have always reflected his deep partisan commitments.

		Schlesinger argued, was that he was an “obsessive” anti-communist, who always grossly exaggerated the supposed “great influence” that communists had in the cultural and political life of the United States in the 1930s and 1940s.
		Schlesinger’s new criticisms of Hook are to be taken seriously, the historian has to say in effect that he, too, was wrong when he stood alongside Hook in the anti-Communist fight.
		Schlesinger came back from a conference recently held in Cuba to discuss the Cuban missile crisis, he told the press upon his return how impressed he was with the charisma, warmth, and openness of Fidel Castro.

	Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
		Alan Brinkley is more nuanced and less hagiographic, Schlesinger's extensive writings on the Roosevelt administrations remain (with the work of Ellis Hawley and William Leuchtenberg) a foundation for New Deal historiography.
		I should note that I don't completely agree with Schlesinger's militant stance against "multiculturalism" (although I do recognize the erosion of common citizenship that he is alluding to) and I find the civic republicanism of RFK more palatable than the liberalism of JFK/TK.
		Nevertheless, I admire Schlesinger for his wit, scholarship, and devotion to the liberal agenda.

	Arthur Schlesinger and Sidney Hook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hook’s greatest mistake, Schlesinger argued, was that he was an “obsessive” anti-communist, who always grossly exaggerated the supposed “great influence” that communists had in the cultural and political life of the United States in the 1930s and 1940s.
		More to the point is Schlesinger’s failure to deal with the effects of the major secret communist underground and its ability to thoroughly move in the New Deal’s corridors of power.
		If Schlesinger’s new criticisms of Hook are to be taken seriously, the historian has to say in effect that he, too, was wrong when he stood alongside Hook in the anti-Communist fight.

		Schlesinger, one of our most distinguished American historians, a noted “public intellectual,” member in and chronicler of the Kennedy administration, offers a delightfully readable autobiography through his first 33 years—and we are promised the rest in due course.

		Schlesinger Jr.’s confrontation in Coeur d’Alene and its intemperate evangelicals was, I would conjecture, a confrontation at and with the frontier.

		Nor was Schlesinger a terribly prescient writer: in his The Cycles of American History, he insisted that Reagan’s foreign policy towards the USSR wouldn’t work and would prove counterproductive.
