Schlesinger discusses three unfortunate consequences of this new ethnocentric upsurge: the misuse of history to glorify minority groups at the expense of the truth; the creation of new academic studies to glorify those minority groups; and a renewed segregation within our schools on the basis of race.
Schlesinger is first and foremost a historian, and thus it should be no surprise that his book begins with an examination of the different ways in which marginalized and oppressed groups have both viewed America historically and have viewed history generally.
Schlesinger's strongest (and perhaps most justified) criticism of multiculturalism is of some scholars' propensity for the use of "history as a weapon" for political ends; either the omission of unfortunate realities or the addition of events that simply didn't occur.
The senior Schlesinger's memoir, published in 1963 when the younger Schlesinger was making history as part of John Ken nedy's White House, reflected the optimism of a generation whose lives had coincided with America's transformation into a great world power and with the apparent victory of liberal and progressive values in American life.
Schlesinger had already thrown himself into campaigns for progressive causes during his years of teaching at Ohio State and the University of Iowa.
Schlesinger was well aware that some of his optimism reflected the tremendous improvement in the situation of university professors during his career.
