Abstract
The paper details the case involving Ernst Zundel's arrests, deportations and finally imprisonment in Germany. The paper examines three mainstream (nominally non-biased) sources and three "alternative" and admittedly biased websites and the differences between how the two sides cover this case. The paper looks at the Daily Times of Maryville, Tennessee, the Times-Colonist of Victoria, B.C. and the Hamilton Spectator by Bill Dunphy. The paper also examines three alternative sites, revisionists.com, www.ihr.com and www.rense.com. The paper discusses how the definition of revisionism is dependent upon the context.
From the Paper
"Ernst Zundel is a German-born writer and political activist, and was a legal resident of Canada for approximately 40 years until his move to the United States in 2000. He was arrested by U.S. immigration authorities in February of 2003 at his home in Tennessee, where he had come to live with his American wife. The basis for the arrest was a technical violation of U.S. immigration regulations, despite the fact that Zundel had no prior criminal record and was in the process of attempting to acquire legal U.S. residency status, in addition to the fact of being married to a U.S. citizen. He was held in custody by U.S. authorities for several weeks before being deported to Canada, at which point he was held in custody by Canadian authorities for two years as a threat to national security (Rimland.)"

Abstract
This essay examines the ways certain kinds of information are suppressed and censored in academic contexts as a way to advocate a politically correct relation to intellectual activity. By suppressing and censoring activities such as race science and historical revisionism, the possibility of teaching intellectuals how to interact with contradictory and contentious information is eclipsed. In this paper, regulations of free speech are explored with regards to contentious kinds of information in academic communities, and compared to the ideas of Orwell's novel 1984.

City and Suburbs, 2007.

Abstract
The writer of this article notes that Robert Lewis, in "A City Transformed: Manufacturing Districts and Suburban Growth in Montreal, 1850-1929", and Richard Harris, in "Industry and Residence: The Decentralization of New York City, 1900-1940", deal with the phenomenon of suburbanization in two large North American cities within time frames overlapping the early 20th century. The writer points out that both authors' analyses of changes in residential settlement, industrial relocation, and the restructuring of the urban and suburban landscapes along class lines represent a radical revision of the traditional conceptual models of the processes of suburbanization. The writer maintains that both of these articles are primarily descriptive as opposed to theoretical. It is only when one considers them in terms of the article they later jointly authored - "The Geography of North American Cities and Suburbs, 1900-1950" - that one may see how explicitly their revisionist perspectives, foreshadowed in these earlier articles, have challenged prevailing theoretical models of suburbanization in North America.

Introduction
New York and Montreal: Key Findings
The Findings in their Larger Theoretical Context
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The findings that the move to the suburbs in both Montreal and New York City during the late 19th and early 20th century was comprised of working class people represents a critical distinction between this phase of suburbanization and the more well-known later 20th century model. For example, in the 20th century settlement in the suburbs was seen as a means of escaping low-income housing. In a number of American cities, a racial dimension was added to this class distinction, as the suburbs became areas to which the blue-collar white workers and the white middle-class resettled from the inner city, which was left to the African American working class. Studies of cities such as Detroit have found that these industrial suburbs are notably "hostile" to Black settlement; a factor that adds the complications of race and ethnicity to class in explaining settlement patterns and the processes of suburbanization."

"The Changing Interpretations of Reconstruction
This paper will discuss the period of Reconstruction in the United States, 1866-77, focusing upon the changing historical interpretations of that period. The specific interpretations which will be discussed are those which were prominent during the following periods: from the end of Reconstruction itself through the beginning of the Twentieth Century, from 1900 through the 1930s (including the interpretations of the Black historians), from the 1940s through the 1950s, the revisionist interpretations of the 1960s, and the post-revisionist interpretations of the 1970s and 1980s.
Although most historians discuss the Reconstruction period in the post-Confederate South as beginning with the end of the Civil War in 1865, Reconstruction did not officially begin until the passage.."

Medieval Historiography Since 1965, 1993.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine medieval historiography generated since 1965, to explore whether and to what extent subsequent historical interpretation of the medieval period has continued earlier lines of thought. The plan of the research will be to set forth the principal outlines of development that motivated modern historiography as discussed by Norman Cantor, and then to deal with the extent to and reasons for which significant changes in interpretation and focus of interest in medieval subjects have occurred.
When Norman F. Cantor wrote Reinventing the Middle Ages in 1991, a category of revolution had been going on in the humanities disciplines in general and interpretation of the medieval period in particular, for a couple of decades. Cantor limits his own study to the formative and institutionalizing..."

From the Paper
"Every year over 200,000 people visit the site of the Battle of the Little Big Horn in Montana. Long known as the Custer Battlefield National Monument, the name of the site was changed in 1991 when Congress made it the Little Bighorn National Monument and the monument to the Indians was planned. This shift in emphasis at the popular tourist attraction is the result of changes in the perception of the battle's meanings for both Native Americans and white Americans. The change represents an outward sign of the re-thinking of history that has slowly recognized how both popular myths and supposedly objective history serve hidden agendas. Feminist and ethnic groups' critiques of the way all kinds of history has been written have gradually produced wider recognition of the fact that these underlying interests need to be brought out in the open and..."

Slavery, Stereotypes and Society, 2008.
A critical analysis of the adaptive flexibility model in its application to the African-Caribbean family.

Abstract
The paper critically examines the adaptive flexibility model and argues that while this model possesses strengths, the model is flawed to the extent that it diminishes the radical impact of slavery upon the social and cultural development of the African-Caribbean family. The paper contends that a more balanced analysis would recognize both the reality of the impact of slavery upon later generations of African-Caribbeans, as well as the capacity of these families to define their own lives, often in resistance to this oppression.
Outline:
Introduction
Revisionism and the Adaptive Flexibility Model
From the Paper
"It is significant that even today scholarly research on the African Caribbean family focuses to an extraordinary degree upon the impact of slavery on this population. Much of the early history of the Caribbean is defined by its economic role as the largest English, and for a brief period the largest world, producer of sugar (Floyd 1981, p.38). To harvest the sugar cane, the English planters found that they needed far more field workers than could be obtained from the deported criminal classes of Britain and Ireland."

Remembering History Accurately, 2007.
This paper discusses Wiesel's Nobel Prize lecture that highlights the importance of an accurate remembrance of the horrors of the twentieth century.

Abstract
The paper discusses the minimization of the horrors of the twentieth century. The paper explains that this has not only led to a disrespectful attitude regarding some of these horrors and their survivors, but has also increased the risk that similar events will occur in the twenty-first century. The paper examines three instances of historical revisionism; one that has lasted almost 70 years, (Holocaust denial) and resulted in an increase in anti-Semitism and two that are just beginning to effect social and political concerns, (the war in Iraq and the crises in Darfur.) The paper shows how accurate historical memories are absolutely essential to the future of the world.
From the Paper
"One of the problems that have consistently plagued historians who are seeking to teach history in a manner aimed at solving social problems is the concept of revisionist history. There are a myriad of definitions of revisionist history, many of them tailored to address specific issues that arise as a result of specific historical events. For example, for many years history textbooks in the American south continued to teach about slavery from a context of benevolent paternalism. One problem with historical revisionism is that by minimizing the horrors of the past, one renders oneself powerless to address the very real problems that exist in the present-day as a result of those horrors."

Abstract
This is a critical analysis of Dorothy Ko's "Teachers of the Inner Chambers: Women and Culture in Seventeenth-Century China". Dorothy Ko's Teachers of the Inner Chambers can be seen as a work of historical "revisionism" that attempts to revise the popularly held beliefs about the "oppression" of women in pre-20th century China.

The Siren Song, 2001.
This paper discusses James Joyce's famous work "Ulysses " and what distinguishes it from being a novel versus an opera.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at James Joyce's "Ulysses" which was transformed from a novel into an opera. It analyzes the impact that each of these art forms has on the work and how the format changes. It provides a background of James Joyce's life and the background to his writing the novel. Within the novel itself, the "Siren Song" chapter is analyzed.
From the paper:
"Historians with idle time on their hands occasionally may indulge in moments of wishful revisionism. "What if," they say, "That young dreamer named Adolph Hitler had been accepted into art school? Wouldn't the world be different?" History is littered with celebrities who, for better or worse, had as youngsters fervently wished to be doing something different than their allotted role. Among them was one James Joyce, who, as it so happened, wanted to be a musician. If Hitler had been an artist instead, he probably would have been drawing propaganda posters for a second World War that would have persisted without his figure head. If James Joyce has been a musician, would he still have created Ulysses? At first glance, of course one must say not. This book is, after all, celebrated as one of the best modern examples of the novel -- not an opera. However, if what we look for in Ulysses is not its obviously visible shape, but rather, its messages, its rhythms and stories and symbolisms, then it is entirely possible that it would be the same creation if it were suddenly transmutated into music."

Abstract
Holocaust denial has become one of the most important vehicles for contemporary anti-Semitism. Some scholars believe it is the invention of a collection of long-time anti-Semites and apologists for Hitler. The Nazis themselves can be thought of as the first Holocaust revisionists, for they tried to conceal their extermination program behind euphemisms, such as the "final solution to the Jewish problem". This paper shows that, nevertheless, it is important to understand that Holocaust denial and other forms of revisionism also bring up ideas of relativism and truth. When critically analyzed, the motives behind such historians can open a floodgate to how society interprets humanity. Furthermore, the paper shows that, when deep-rooted anti-Semitic connotations are thrown into the mix, it is a recipe for why Holocaust denial is so significant to the contemporary response to the Holocaust.
From the Paper
"The main problem that I have with Holocaust revisionists is that they work backwards when compared to traditional forms of historic reporting. As stated before, historians take facts, make analyses, and finally draw interpretations to reach a conclusion. Revisionists already have a conclusion. Before anything else, Holocaust revisionists believe that survivor witnesses lied, documents left by Nazi's were forged and or misinterpreted, photographs were faked, and a myriad of other claims that rattle the cages of conscious thought. From here Holocaust revisionists begin to work backwards in proving their theories. If no letter exists stating that Hitler called for a final solution for the Jews, then the theory of Hitler's final solution never existed. If there are no photos of the gas chambers, then they never existed. This form of historic reporting wanders off the traditional path of revisionists."

Thesis Statement
Determination of the GNP
Trends of U. S. vs. other Nations
Some Foreseeable Problems
Statistical Revisionism and Wizardry
Education Quality
Economic Statistical Wizardry
The Trusts and government surpluses
Bibliography
From the Paper
"This situation therefore sets up a Net National Income - the same as the Net National Product - and takes off an estimate for capital consumption or depreciation as machinery is acquired, replaced or removed along with the several hidden factors attendant to such international movement of capital in its myriad forms. For the United States GNP/GDP statistics one needs to be particularly careful. The U. S. has a great tendency to make these figures much more dramatic than in reality they are. For example, a quarterly rise of 1.4% in actual growth would be reported on an annualized basis and the talking heads of the networks would report glowing figures such as a 5.7% rise when quarter annualizing is calculated."
