| | Historical revisionism (political) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Historical revisionism is often viewed as a legitimate effort in which historians seek to broaden the awareness of certain historical events by re-examining conventional wisdom. | | | In this novel, historical revisionism is one of the main policies of the propaganda arm ("The Ministry of Truth") of Oceania's government. | | | Use of historical revisionism as illegitimate manipulation of history for political purposes is exemplified by Srebrenica genocide deniers who typically willfully misuse or ignore historical records in order to attempt to prove their conclusions. |

| | Revisionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Historical revisionism is often viewed as a legitimate effort by historians to broaden the awareness of certain historical events by re-examining conventional wisdom. | | | However, the term has also been used in a pejorative sense, indicating an attempt to rewrite history by downgrading or simply ignoring essential facts, as in for example Holocaust denial (see historical revisionism (negationism)). | | | Historical revisionism also has a more specific meaning when it is used as a label to describe the views of self-taught historians who publish articles that deliberately misrepresent and manipulate historical evidence. |

| | The preceding two sections have attempted to demonstrate that historical revisionism is a matter not just for historians and cultural critics but for IR specialists as well. | | | The second or normative explanation for historical revisionism suggests that the revisionist enterprise is the product of interpreting historical materials in the advancement of specific political, ideological, or social goals. | | | The normative explanation suggests that historical revisionism, indeed, all historical inquiry has little to do with "just the facts," such as they might be. |

| | A conversation with Dr. Ibrahim Alloush |
| | Since revisionism is not an ideology, but a method of historical research, it is crucial that revisionism obtain spokespersons from across the ideological spectrum, from the extreme left to the extreme right. | | | Therein lies the promise of historical revisionism for us Arabs, and the importance of the work of revisionists like Ahmed Rami and his colleagues. | | | After consolidating their gains in the West, the Zionists have essentially succeeded in bringing the battle to the Arab collective psyche through such Trojan horses as the fourteen Arab intellectuals who signed the petition to ban the conference on "Zionism and Revisionism" in Beirut. |

| | Historical revisionism is a perfectly legitimate, respectable and necessary approach to historical analysis. | | | Both of these publications were presented as "historical revisionism" when, in fact, they were Holocaust denial. | | | The power of revisionism and the intellectual climate is has fostered is nowhere more clearly seen as in the assault upon the Holocaust. |

| | The Essay, Erica Spinelli |
| | The very methods of historical revisionism and history and memory studies designed to preserve and record historical memory have thus been co-opted to deprive a group of their common memory and to place reality in flux for the rest of us. | | | As her paper shows, those who seek to deny the Holocaust attempt to cover their fascist and antisemitic motivations with a veneer of legitimate historical revisionism. | | | As academic historians have incorporated these techniques into more of their work, the theorists of “Holocaust Revisionism” (as they call themselves) or “Holocaust deniers” (as professionals in Holocaust studies refer to them) have co-opted the historian’s tools to spread the erroneous belief that there was no systematic Nazi policy to exterminate the Jews. |

Mark Herbener," which appeared both in The Christian News and The Journal of Historical Review (Summer 1988), presented a brief and lucid case for Holocaust Revisionism. |

| | Christian Reconstructionism |
| | Christian historical revisionism is the premise of much Christian Right political and historical literature and is being widely taught and accepted in Christian schools and home schools. | | | Most Reconstructionists, for example, argue that the U.S. is a "Christian Nation" and that they are the champions and heirs of the "original intentions of the Founding Fathers." This dual justification for their views, one religious, the other somehow constitutional, is the result of a form of historical revisionism that Rushdoony frankly calls "Christian revisionism." | | | If one's political righteousness and sense of historical continuity is an article of faith, what appear as facts to everyone else fall before the compelling evidence of faith. |

| | I'm aware that there has been a lot of debate about my alleged opinions on "historical revisionism," but I don't agree with your assumption that there is interest in my opinions, for several reasons. | | | Anyone who was interested in my opinions about these matters would, surely, have looked up what I have written, from these earliest essays (long before "historical revisionism" of the kind to which you refer had become a cause celebre). | | | If you want to know something about the "historical revisionists," look at their work, or ask people who are interested enough in them to read their work; that would seem a plausible enough suggestion. |
