That is a big flow from the 1960s to the 1970s in America after the war.
The Communist Herbert Norman's reassessment is also flourishing in recent years.
The other day, "Why is America look down on Japan?" Correct the "view of history of Japan" full of mistakes "(wanibooks PLUS new book), an American historian, Jason Morgan, who is the author of came to Japan, I interviewed him in the monthly magazine Will, but I heard that the American historical society is worse than Japan.
There is only a historical society of left wing and a new left wing, and it is not allowed to study a fair and neutral history.
It seems that the New Leftist John faction has taken over.

If you do not belong to the Dower faction you do not have a job and you do not have any research expenses.
It came to Japan, it had a degree in Japan, and I have an American who works for a Japanese university in acquaintance.
Was it released from the Dawn faction?
Ezaki
I have watched the trend of Japanese study of American left wing from the standpoint of a conservative activist.
Since Dower who reevaluated Norman came out, Japanese citizens are not "victims of Japanese militarists" but "perpetrators of Asia" and will pursue Japan's responsibility for further perpetuation in the future, to be specific, emperor who was not pursued in the International Military Tribunal For the Far East, whether pursuing war responsibility against Asia or not,evaluate Japan's democratization-it was forced to revise the view of history.
The historical view of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was not that that Japanese citizens were victims of Japanese militarists, it is a further major turnaround, great exacerbation.
The basic idea by the new left wing was established in the 1970s.
Based on that, research to ask Japanese accusation responsibility such as comfort women, Nanjing incidents, 731 troops etc. was simultaneously also in parallel with Japan and the United States.
Left-wing intellectuals of both Japan and the US pursue only Japan's accountability responsibility, which should be called "past completion form", and put a label on the revisionist (correctionist) to try to make an objection on it. Looking at the flow of history and the movement of politics it is such a thing.
I think that being swallowed by such a flow is the historical society of Japan and the American today.
