Throughout the 1960s and 70s, as the linguistic turn went from societal to cultural emphasis, due to the counterculture and civil rights movements,a different form of politics advocated peace and equal rights. As opposed to Marxism, anarchism, or socialism, this New Left was fundamentally opposed to violence. They eventually made their way into academia and began to revise the historical orthodoxy of the consensus. They showed that the emphasis on a national character was necessarily marginalizing to anyone who did not conform with it. These revisionists used history to show the oppression of people that were not in the dominant race, class, or gender - eventually specializing in those marginalized identities.
Race, class, and gender studies came to dominate the field. Much of revisionism is about raising the voices of historical characters previously silenced by nationalist history. Nationalism violently imposed racism, exploitation, and misogyny. Historicizing the meaning of those who were hegemonic within orthodoxy, namely white cis heterosexual males who were rich, challenged that violent nationalism
