About this title

Synopsis:

This probing analysis examines the ideological and psychological elements involved in historical acts of denial. Major cases of dissent are discussed in terms of their base issues—Holocaust denial as an ethnic phenomenon, Stalinist denial by Marxist scholars as an ideological phenomenon, Japanese jingoistic denial since the 1960s as a cultural phenomenon—while the pathology of repudiation and self-deception are skillfully explored. Online conspiracy theories and other, more modern, ruses are also discussed.

About the Author:

Tony Taylor is director of the National Centre for History Education and an associate professor at Monash University. He is the author of numerous publications in the areas of higher education policy, regional and rural education, professional development for teachers, and history education.
