미국 인종 연구의 역사: 그 역정의 역사와 역사가들

초록

In reviewing the history of American Black and Indian History and Historiography over the past half- century or so, it is possible to find great footsteps of this country's nationalism in the study of race. It is not the case that critical race-oriented history as intersectionality is antithetical to nationalist history. It is the case that the history of race is the most open and reflective study of the history of nationalism in this great country and the best lens through which to view the future direction of nationalism. Specifically, I say this not only in light of the holy assimilationist’s performativism of so-called racism in the performance of American nationalism. As emphasized in this essay, the recent transnational history of race reveals a network of national human capacities that connect the world. No single nation's history is comparable to that of the world. The history of the United States is a history of holy progress, of contributing to the peace of the world and the growth of freedom and equality of people of the world, of making the great global history that Americans are people of the world and that people of the world are making this country. Suffice to say, the study of this volume can be transformed into a history of American pride and nationalism. It is time for the occupant of the White House to recognize that a history of this kind of experience can be carved into a history of American universal nationalism. I dare say that these are scenes from the nationalist history of this country, seen from the perspective of a “local” across the Pacific Ocean.
