“Revisionist history is not holocaust denial. Revisionist history is an academic pursuit to reinterpret historical events to, as the description states, uncover or reveal aspects of that history that may have been overlooked. Part of that may mean applying different theoretical lenses to a set of historical phenomena to understand them better.
For instance, certain groups (i.e. women, minority or oppressed groups, etc.) or perspectives may have been long left out of the historical narrative surrounding a particular event, and we now have to understand those perspectives and find out how they fit within the narratives we've previously established. This may entail editing or completely overhauling a historical account to provide a more accurate portrayal of the event in question.
Another aspect could be as simple as new evidence surfacing that run contrary to our long held views on an event, leading us to reinterpreting or re-situating that event while incorporating that new evidence into the narrative.
The cliche that "history is written by the victors" also reveals why we may want to remain skeptical of historical accounts and that we must be searching for new evidence that may contradict dominant claims.”Read full review »

Julia Gillard was not taken down by missoginism, she was removed by her own party due to gross incompetance and a string of scandles. These facts were conveniently left out by Malcom to push an overly...”Read full review »
