H i sto ry
(continued from page 8)
At least two books are avail
able in the Sterling C. Evans Lib
rary dealing entirely with the
falsification and omission of
facts and people in the history of
Russia. They are "Rewriting
Russian History/' by Cyril
Black, and "The Writing of His
tory in the Soviet Union," by
Anatole G . Mazour.
Well, it couldn't happen in
the United States.
Couldn't?
Dunning says rewriting his
tory is a constant problem in ev
ery culture. History is written
based on the data that's avail
able, he says. That means what
survived.
For example, when the Spa
niards took over the New World
they destroyed almost all ex
isting records to eliminate com
petition from the Aztecs and
other inhabitants of the land,
Dunning says.
He says that in the United
States there are more subtle
ways of rewriting history than
the actual manipulation of data.
When the press continually
portrays the United States as the
good guy and the Soviet Union
as the bad guy it shows a cultural
prejudice, Dunning says, but
history as propaganda is no
thing new.

Dunning says censorship and
the restriction of inquiry is un
common in the United States,
but it sometimes is difficult to
get access to certain informa
tion.
Dr. Betty Unterberger, his
tory professor, says government
officials are claiming that more
information than ever before is
"vital to national security."
Unterberger chairs the state
historical advisory committee
on diplomatic documentation.
She said basic research of ev
ery kind is hindered by the re
cent rigidity. Historians, espe
cially, are dependent on govern
ment documents for research
and writing.
The public's right to know
should be the predominant fac
tor when considering what in
formation will be released, she
says.
Pisani says that in the United
States, the changing of history is
most evident in high school his
tory textbooks where anything
unattractive or un-American is
left out.
The basic purpose of the tex
tbooks is to make students bet
ter citizens, to promote Amer
icanism or certain values, he
says. Anything anyone consi
dered radical was left out.
Pisani says many of his stu-
northern India.

dents now have never heard of
the system of segregation that
existed in the South after the
Civil War. They also don't know
that Abraham Lincoln had
essentially the same racist feel
ings as the rest of the nation.
The great danger in this coun
try regarding the changing of
history is more the act of omit
ting something controversial
than simply writing facts out of
history, he says.
For a long time Indians were
portrayed as savages with no
rights at all, Pisani says. More
recently, they have been por
trayed as noble savages.
. "Hwe Prize human free
dom, he said, "then we should
want people to look at the past
without blinders on. What we
have been is important to what
we are now."
Pisani says the tradition of
questioning, not taking everv-
thing at face value, is the most
unportant tradition we have.
