By the late 1960s, critics, including university professors and educational leaders in the government began criticizing history for its lackluster instructional practices and the overemphasis on British/ European political history, at the exclusion of social history and alternative world perspectives (Rosenzweig 1984).	cache/ch-762.pdf	txt/ch-762.txt
