On Pendulum Effects in American Historical Memory

Mark A. Noll

The Review of Faith & International Affairs, 2021, vol. 19, issue 3, 1-4

Abstract: American history has often witnessed a “Pendulum Effect” in consideration of the nation’s own past. That is, attitudes swing from one interpretive pole to the opposite, in this case for interpretations of the Plymouth Pilgrims, the Mayflower, and “the first Thanksgiving.” The articles in this special issue try to avoid those extremes, but while still treating fairly and with sharp moral scruples, the events of four centuries ago and their contemporary legacies.
