Grex History Conference
I've dug down through decades of backlogged posts and found the History
conference! This looks interesting, especially since it now preserves the
history of discussions of history.
resp:26 Not history, but I was interested by a recent review of ARMSTRONG
by H.W. Crocker III, a humorous alternate history about Custer. https://ww

resp:40 resp: 42 These posts are a gem of a time capsule! Thousands for a
college degree? I think today in-state tuition will set you back several tens
of thousands, and out-of-state and private colleges over one hundred thou.
Imperialism? As we now know in this enlightened 21st century, of course it's
always about imperialism! And sexism, racism, ableism, homophobia,
transphobia, islamophobia, and whatever other evil the dead straight Christian
white men have been conspiring in. ;)
resp:61 Isn't "contemporary history" an oxymoron? I know it's an actual
thing, but to me it seems that if it's contemporary, it's really just news --
history takes at least a few decades/generations to digest.
resp:73 and onward. Interesting 2005 discussion of ghosts and the nature of
truth in history.
