A Fifty-Year Perspective on History Teaching's "Crisis."

Henry, Michael

OAH Magazine of History, v7 n3 p5-8 Spr 1993

Reviews criticism of history instruction and historical knowledge in the United States since 1939. Contends that critics have shared almost identical concerns during that period. Suggests that, although efforts must continually be made to strengthen history instruction, the "crisis" in history is ephemeral and usually linked to educational philosophy and political values.
