      This is far and away the smartest & most honest conservative response to the 1619 project. I hope we see more like this.https://twitter.com/philipaklein/status/1163853616370860032 …

      He may not have read it yet, and I do like to think of myself as the last of the centrist liberals rather than a conservative. But maybe I am a sort of conservative again. Who knows.

      Yeah, I don't think of you as a conservative.

      I'll say that I'm puzzled by your notion that 1) there's something dubious about relying on post-2008 scholarship 2) the basic ideas are new (in fact criticism of slavery & settler colonialism as constituent to USA go back centuries).

      There's a question raised by relying on post-2008 scholarship - giving undue weight to the vissisitudes of a narrow point in time.

      On the other hand, for the vast majority of American history, scholarship was dominated by people who thought blacks were inately inferior and deserved enslavement (the Dunning school & its precursors).

          yes, also a very good point. But 2008 seems a suspect point where suddenly all became reliable.

          I wasn't the one that made 2008 a marker of trustworthiness. I will say that history is a cumulative discipline where newer works absorb the critiques made of older ones.

          I don't say there's anything wrong with post-2008 scholarship. I say that it's possible that the authors I mention are engaging in some presentism. Some of that is inevitable in history-writing, and I think it might be happening in this case, and we should be on guard against it.

          For reference, Eric Foner’s “Reconstruction” came out in 1989

          and this was untenable, at least in a university setting, by the 1970's or so, wouldn't you agree?
