As reported in SDHF Newsletter No.100, Prof. YAMASHITA and 50 Japanese academics issued a rebuttal to the statement by the “20 American Historians,” concerning McGraw-Hill’s textbook, which was published in the March 2015 issue of Perspective on History, a monthly bulletin of the AHA (American Historical Association).
The rebuttal was published in the December 2015 issue of Perspective on History. It was also reported in the December issue of Inside Higher Ed, an e-magazine on education based in Washington, DC.
In order to clarify the main aim of the rebuttal, Prof. YAMASHITA contributed an article to the “Opinion” section of The Japan Times, March 10 edition:
