From Professor Sackman:
"The book referred to is: Gary Kornblith and Carol Lasser, eds., Teaching American History: Essays Adapted from the Journal of American History, 2001-2007 (New York: Bedford/St. Martins, 2009. The quote that elicited the loud Doocy "huh" is drawn from some of my comments in "Part One: Teaching the American History Survey in the Twenty-First Century: A Roundtable Discussion," in which I wrote that I wanted students to come to see that "American history is not a fixed set of facts, figures, and events, that it is not a done deal. History was contested all along and continues to be contested. Conveying this is for me a big part of trying to make history come alive for students who consider it inert, dead, and distant from themselves and their world" (p. 8). "
