多元文化主义在美国的兴起具有多方面的因素,而上世纪60年代的民权运动无疑是当地多元文化主义兴起的直接历史背景。多元文化主义影响下的美国史学工作者认为,美国历史和传统是多种民族或族裔共同经历相互作用的结果。但是,对美国历史的多元文化解构,也在一定程度上对美国史学产生负面影响。整个美国社会对美国历史的认知也在上世纪八九十年代引起了广泛的争论。 The rise of multiculturalism in the United States has many factors. The civil rights movement of the 1960s is undoubtedly the direct historical background of the rise of local multiculturalism. American historians under the influence of multiculturalism believe that the history and traditions of the United States are the result of the interplay of common experiences of many ethnic or ethnic groups. However, the multi-cultural deconstruction of American history also has a negative impact on American historiography to a certain extent. The entire American society’s cognition of the history of the United States also caused widespread controversy in the 1980s and 1990s.
