A doctor of history fixes broken stories.WHAT IS “DAD HISTORY”? GIVING A LABEL TO A POPULAR GENRE OF HISTORY WRITINGJuly 5, 2020 · by michaeljdouma · in History Methods, The History Discipline · 2 CommenundauntedAbout a week ago, there was an active post on the r/History subreddit about “Dad History.” Some of the responses suggest that the original post had just coined the term “Dad History”, and this may very well be the case, because I find little use of the term elsewhere online. Dad History is mostly “Blokes, boats and battles” the post said, “a lot of biographies of generals, kings, and presidents, as well as deep constructions of battles.”As with any new coinage, it’s hard to find complete agreement about what Dad History is. To me, Dad History is a genre of history, almost entirely in book form, written for your average dad, but particularly designed for American men older than 50. The books are physically and aesthetically quite similar. A Dad History book is hardcover, 300+ pages, with high color contrast between the font on the cover and the background image. As with novels from popular writers, the name of the author is featured prominently on the cover of Dad History books. These are books generally written by older white men who work as independent scholars, not university professors. Most, but not all of the writers are politically right-of-center. Dad History authors include David McCullough, Nathaniel Philbrick, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, Brian Kilmeade, and Stephen Ambrose (probably the godfather of Dad History).

Dad History is a genre of history that sells millions of books a year. And yet, there is, as far as I can tell, no academic history class, no dissertation, not even a published peer-reviewed article devoted to understanding Dad History as a phenomenon. As I see it, Dad History as a separate genre of history developed in response to a demand for old-fashioned blood and guts narratives of “Great Men” that are no longer taught in schools or universities. Dad History might be seen as an off-shoot of traditional political history, which mostly focused on powerful men who determined the course of the world. For a century, political history was academic history, or at least it dominated the field. In the 1960s and 1970s, however, political history became unfavorable as new social and cultural historians reshaped the field.
