	New Historians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Historians are a loosely-defined group of Israeli historians who have declared as their goal the reexamination of the history of Israel and Zionism.
		According to the New Historians, Israel and Arab countries have therefore their own share of responsibility for the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian plight.
		The new thesis was given a "second-class" pass.

	New Criticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Criticism was the dominant trend in English and American literary criticism of the early twentieth century, from the 1920s to the early 1960s.
		At their best, New Critical readings were brilliant, articulately argued, and broad in scope, but sometimes they were idiosyncratic and moralistic.
		The New Criticism is one of the concepts satirized in Isaac Asimov's short story "The Immortal Bard" (1954), in which a physics professor learns the secret of time travel and tries bringing prominent individuals from the past into the present.

	Local Historians in New York State
		The Municipal Historians Association of New York State was formed in 1971 to serve as a statewide organization for the large number of city, town, and village historians.
		The county historians were asked to share their ideas for a meaningful commemoration and to enter into a partnership to insure that history would not be absent from the Bicentennial observance.
		Each historian is encouraged to examine the "New Social History" approach to understanding the lives of everyday people by examining their actual record in the form of archival sources, manuscripts, documents, architectural resources, and the oral tradition.

	burke-new history (burkenh) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Historians, like social anthropologists, now try to uncover the latent rules of daily life (the 'poetics' of the everyday, as the Russian semiotician Juri Lotman puts it) and to show their readers how to be a father or a daughter, a ruler or a saint, in a given culture.
		New fields such as women's history and the history of popular culture were sometimes treated as if they were independent from (or even opposed to) the history of learned culture and the history of men.
		Historians of popular culture are increasingly concerned to describe and analyse the changing relations between the high and the low, 'the intersection of popular culture and the culture of educated people'.

	Western History, New and Not So New \| Walter Nugent \| OAH Magazine of History
		Western historians were polarizing between “new” and “old,” and by early 1993 something of a Thermidor had set in, expressed in sharply critical statements by William W. Savage, Gerald D. Nash, and Gerald Thompson (3).
		Historians Richard Slotkin, William Goetzmann, and others have called it “the creation myth of America.” To assert that the West and the frontier experience were not always honorable or flattering upsets many people and literally beggars their belief.
		Historians must “help the American West to become a more thoughtful and self-aware community than it has been, a community that no longer believes in its special innocence, but accepts the fact that it is inextricably part of a flawed world” (10).

		Nor do new historians bother to note that such words were followed by gruesome acts, about which the world has forgotten, given the ubiquity of biased news reports.
		In FABRICATING ISRAELI HISTORY, Karsh dissects the claims of the self-anointed "new historians" of Israel: he delineates the serious flaws in the narratives that these men and women are attempting to propound by going back to the archives and showing how the "new historians" have systematically distorted facts in their construction of historical evidence.
		"New historian" Ilan Pappe has shown his true colours as a socialist propagandist with a political agenda by claiming, as sorry defense against Karsh's indictment, to be most concerned with "moral issues [and] not the natural human follies of professional historians [i.e.

	LOCAL HISTORIANS AND THEIR ACTIVITIES
		First, each historian has been authorized "to collect and preserve material relating to the history of the political subdivision for which he or she is appointed, and to file such material in fireproof safes or vaults in the county, city, town or village offices.
		Historians need to be able to rely on each other as they have in the past-as individuals with a high sense of purpose, high standards of scholarship, and a genuine concern for public service.
		Now is the time for historians to pool their collective wisdom to define their own goals, to identify their own problems, to begin to work together toward solutions that cannot be reached as well, if at all, as isolated individuals.

	WomenOf.com : The "New" U.S. Women's History(1)
		The questions historians ask in their scholarship always derives from the intellectual and political influences they themselves encounter; thus African American women's historians observed both about the contemporary and the historical women's movement that many groups conventionally referred to as "women's organizations" were really white women's organizations.
		One of the first areas to attract the new women's historians, and one that has yielded a rich harvest of reinterpretation, was the study of nineteenth-century norms of femininity: that is, the social and ideological construction of the female gender among elite whites.
		Women's historians, scrutinizing critically the history of labor unions, questioned an old belief among unionists and labor historians that women made poor unionists: that they were hard to organize and became unreliable union members because they viewed themselves as temporary workers and would accept substandard wages.

	To Tell the Truth
		Ironically, the "New Historians" are using official documents being released now by governmental and public institituions in Israel in order to question, and sometimes demolish, the official propaganda and myths that were perpetuated by the Zionist leadership and by court historians for decades in order to justify such policies as the non-recognition of Palestinian nationalism.
		If the "Old Historians" played a leading role in helping to maintain the old status quo and in mustering support for the old policies, the emergence of the "New Historians" as a legitimate voice in Israeli society could help create the ideological foundation for new ideas and new policies, suggests Segev.
		The opposition to the "New Historians," he opines, stems from concern that that is exactly what is happening.

	A New Era for the Discipline of History
		In fact, not only have historians often been among the best and most innovative teachers on their campuses, but many have also taken pioneering and exemplary steps—for instance, by bringing history to the public and by using new media in the classroom.
		The time has come, argue the report's authors, to prepare all historians in a roughly similar way for roughly similar ends—to be multiskilled for a new age of civic as well as classroom and scholarly engagement.
		A "compleat historian" must understand the diverse responsibilities of teacher, scholar, and civic participant; and for that to happen, a considerably broader preparation is required than the report seeks.

		This publishing season brings us an exceptional round of new books on the subject, and it is possible to scent the first cool injections of historical embalming fluid at the edges of their pages.
		The new histories suggest that the war was welcomed in 1914, and particularly by the literate classes, as a necessary act of hygiene, a chance to restore seriousness of purpose after the two trivial decades of the Edwardian Belle Époque.
		And yet the new historians of the Great War conclude that the generals did the best they could, in the face of the defensive advantage offered by the machine gun and the rapid-firing rifle, not to mention the more tactically inconclusive but still lethal gas and flamethrower.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Opinion \| Israel's new historians
		Yet Dr Maksoud chose as a title for his article: "The role of the New Historians in refurbishing the Zionist project", thus underscoring the negative aspects of their activities, notably, their attempt to dissociate Zionism from its misdeeds, and, by so doing, rejuvenate it.
		Dr Maksoud highlights this point when he reproaches the New Historians for overlooking the fact that Israel's right to exist cannot be taken for granted as long as a Palestinian state does not exist, even if the Arab parties themselves are responsible, whether wholly or partially, for its non-existence.
		The stand of Israel's new historians can be an inspiration for Western historians and intellectuals to engage in some soul-searching of their own, to expose the West's ambivalent and contradictory attitudes towards the Jews: either launching intolerable anti-Semitic campaigns or defending Israel indiscriminately, irrespective of its mistakes and crimes.

	The Politicizing Of History
		Given the current state of criticism of the new historians, Professor Adi Ophir of Tel Aviv University was himself forced to issue a disclaimer, asserting that this new batch of historical research does not strive to replace old truths with new ones.
		Obviously, as many North American historians have noted, the choice of national heroes depends to a great extent on the values of the educators writing the texts.and regarding the new historians that is no less true.
		There are those who view the new breed as tireless truth seekers, undoing outdated myths; there are those such as Professor Gerald Steinberg of Bar Ilan who opine that the new historians are avoiding, through their skepticism, dealing with the real and extraordinary implications of the victory of Israel against overwhelming odds.

	Israeli New Historicism
		Israeli Historiography before the New Historians was a biased, adulterated and all-together misleading narrative, which was used by Israeli propagandists as an integral facet in the battle of falsifying history for political needs and purposes.
		Traditional Historians succeeded in creating and perpetuating a wide array of myths that served as the basis of information for numerous researchers, policy-makers and the general public.
		Unfortunately the overall impact of the New Historians within Israel has been confined to a small number of researchers and to those few individuals who seek the unadulterated and true historical facts of the region.

		Gangs of New York is certainly unusual in focusing on the city and its "netherworld" during the Civil War.
		The film's inspiration is Herbert Asbury's 1928 compendium of urban myths, The Gangs of New York, the narrative epicenter of which is the Five Points, the intersection of three streets that was the symbolic heart of one of the poorest city neighborhoods in nineteenth-century America.
		As numerous historians have pointed out in interviews and articles, very little in Gangs of New York's litany of gang warfare, political and police corruption, public hangings, assassination, Catholicism, and gender and race relations is accurate.

		Although it was announced as the first time that the so-called "new" Israeli historians and their Palestinian counterparts had exchanged ideas in public, it was actually the third or fourth time; yet what made the Paris meeting so novel was that this was certainly the first time that a prolonged exchange between them was possible.
		The great virtue of the new historians is that their work at least pushes the contradictions within Zionism to limits otherwise not apparent to most Israelis, and even many Arabs.
		As part of the new politics I have been speaking about in these articles, a splendid opportunity presents itself in continued interaction with the new Israeli historians who, while a tiny minority nevertheless represent a phenomenon of considerable importance.

		New Historians are a group of Israeli historians who have declared their goal to be reexamining the history of Israel and Zionism.
		Although the New Historians' publications include a variety of views, they may be generalized to present the Zionist movement as aimed in such a way that Jewish statehood could only come combined with the displacement of at least some Palestinian Arabs.
		In particular they claim that at least a part of the Palestinan refugees were driven away from their homes, rather than fled out of their own decision.

	The New New Israel Historians - Stormfront White Nationalist Community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Fifteen years ago, the Israeli scholar Benny Morris coined the term ''new historians'' to describe a handful of young Israeli writers who were recasting the standard Zionist narrative.
		There were virtually no Palestinian ''new historians'' asking whether their leader in the 1930's and 40's, Haj Amin al-Husseini, was right to collaborate with the Nazis, calling for the killing of Jews ''wherever you find them.'' Few Muslim leaders questioned whether sending suicide bombers into Israeli cafes was a moral act.
		Israel's new historians were viewed by Arab intellectuals not as an invitation to self-examination but as further evidence that Zionism was a crime.

	The New Mexico Genealogical Society
		Contrary to Twitchell's belief, genealogists and some historians of New Mexico's colonial period (1598-1821) have focused upon the people, individually and collectively, who were the paisanos or pobladores (everyday people) who settled and resided in the province during this Spanish period.
		However, other historians have been more interested in studying other subjects, such as institutions, determining universal laws, and depersonalizing and denigrating the people who explored, conquered, Christianized, colonized, and inhabited New Mexico over the course of nearly two and one-half centuries.
		Critics of genealogists and those historians who do study these people often maintain that they are wasting their time on minutia and unimportant details.
