He shows how each successive trend represented a rebellion against its predecessor but also incorporated a good deal of what its advocates rebelled against--revealing a strong line of continuity through a history of intellectual change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's final chapted represents the most substantial attenpt to date to discern an overall pattern in the writing of American history since the 1960s. Higham's conclusion, that this perios has been one of decline and fragmentation in historical scholarship that may presage yet another rebellion, is sure to be controversial among both historians and observers of the American intellectual scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Higham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801839521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801839528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.76h x 8.46w x 0.73d","brand":"John Higham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44131623174399,"sku":"9780801839528","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a675058-6ecf-4a31-8609-242a8d608b98.jpg?v=1687475465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-john-higham-9780801839528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
