Ta-Nehisi Coates Sends a Message
Edward S. Shapiro’s dissects Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Message, in which Shapiro discovers that Coates is an “ideologue awash in his grievances,” basking in the undue adulation effectuated on American campuses
The Politics of History
Historian Edward S. Shapiro points out that Nick Witham’s Popularizing the Past: Historians, Publishers, and Readers in Postwar America is marred by the author’s obvious selectivity in the postwar historians discussed in the book

On January 5, 2025, the attendees at the American Historical Association convention in New York City voted to approve a resolution strongly condemning Israel for its response to the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

A Voice of Sanity
Coleman Hughes’ The End of Race Politics, provides an extended defense of the colorblind society, which Shapiro calls a “persuasive and compelling counter to the New York Times’s 1619 Project, intersectionality, affirmative action, Critical Race Theory (CRT), racial preferences, wokeism, calls for reparations, and the cult of victimhood which have plagued American society.”

Shapiro, is a prime example of “usable past” historiography, in which identity politics provides the crooked lens through which the past is distorted for progressive purposes
Remembering Harvard
When historian Edward Shapiro attended graduate school at Harvard University in the 1960s, the history department was a “jewel in Harvard’s crown.” Shapiro left Harvard in 1963 just prior to the “fevers which were soon to afflict the academy,” but he notes that few in the department during his stay sought to “write history as one voted,” or to see history through the blinding prism of identity

Black youth who do drop out are less employable and further push up the black youth unemployment rate. This raises a question: Is the high dropout rate of black youth due to their high unemployment rate or is their high unemployment rate due to their high dropout rate? A study of this question…
