Historical Research of American "e;New Left"e; (ePub)

American "e;New Left"e; historiography is a new school in historiography developed in American historiography around 1960s. Its appearance is a reflection in historiography, in that period American Society was in turmoil and the class struggle was acute. As one of the three major schools in historiography successively appearing in American historiography after entering the twentieth century, "e;New Left"e; historiography attracted people's attention with its distinct character and radical historical viewpoint since the first day it appeared in American historiography. But fundamentally, don't compare with schools of social science history, which came with tremendous force in the second half of the twentieth century, even compare with two senior schools in historiography, namely progressivism historiography school and neo-conservatism historiography school, "e;New Left"e; historiography is an important member of American historiography family in the twentieth century, people have never paid enough attention to it all the time. In American historiography, some people think that their historical thoughts open a window really understanding American Society, and more people think they are only "e;the parrot"e; of Beard's "e;school of economics"e;, there is no innovation and significance. In China, although there were some articles introducing American "e;New Left"e; movement and historiography since the end of 1970s and the beginning of 1980s, but they belong to the translation nature, and mostly aim at some aspects of the whole historical contents, the works truly conducting special discussion and research to "e;New Left"e; historiography comprehensively and systematically are as few as stars in the morning and can be counted on fingers. In terms of the writer's view, up to now, except Mr. Lin Lishu in Institute of Historical Research of Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan published his master's thesis Interpretation of New Left to American History in 1970s, the special research in this respect is rare in mainland China, there is no one monograph in this respect till now, it is enough to illustrate the problem. It is a pity of our country in the study of American history.
