I don't live in the USA, (see my awful grammatical mistakes) so, I can't say nothing about the universities there. Talking about Schama, I think that he is just a neoliberal propagandist, but not a serious historian. If you read his Citizens you'll see that he is the opposite of a serious historian. Also, you'll notice that even more when you watch the Other-Documentary-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Because-Is-Much-Worse-Than-The-History-Channel-Documentary (But I'll name it): Terror! Robespierre and the French Revolution (Please, don't do that! I watched it a week ago and I'm sick in my bed right now xP And I found this community looking for bad reviews of it). My problem with it is not their comments, because they have the right of liberty of speech -And what gave then that right? Oh yes! The French Revolution!-, my problem is that they don't have real arguments to say that, they changed phrases and statistics, compared Robespierre to Hitler and Stalin, and just to destroy the souls of the members of the CSP, specially the ones of Robespierre and Saint-Just. Ups... I think I changed the subject ^-^; but I couldn't avoid to talk about that documentary That-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Too >.>
