TIBET PUSHES “TOILET REVOLUTION” IN SCENIC AREAS

In some rural areas,toilets were little more than makeshift shelters surrounded by shabby walls.These dry toilets are of poor sanitary standards,and harmful to the environment.In 2015,while visiting Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture,Xi Jinping,General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee,said,"clean toilets for rural residents are important for the building of a new countryside.We should continue to upgrade the country’s toilets as part of a'toilet revolution'aimed at developing domestic tourism and improving people’s life quality."To realize Xi’s vision,a"toilet revolution"was started in Tibet.For Tibet’s frigid,high altitude,and oxygen-poor environment,the technology of water-free and foamenveloped toilets and microbial biodegradation were selected,and 5 new facilities were built in scenic areas like Namtso and Yardrok Yutso.The facilities were all put into operation and were well received by the public.

HISTORIOGRAPHY: A FIELD IN SEARCH OF A HISTORIAN?

Richard Kirkendall's collection of essays, The Organization of American Historians and the Writing and Teaching of American History, examines the history of the Organization of American Historians (OAH) from its founding to the present, using that history to illuminate how the writing of American history has changed over the last hundred years. The book provides coverage of all the major dimensions of the Mississippi Valley Historical Association's (MVHA) and the OAH's activities, ranging from the work of its scholarly publications, the Mississippi Historical Valley Review and the Journal of American History, to its role in promoting the teaching of American history. Overall, the essays in the volume tell a story of the organization's progress toward greater inclusion and democracy, falling prey to a Whig interpretation of historiography. In doing so, the book is part of a larger tendency in the way that historians have approached historiography, which in turn reflects their ambivalence about their relationship to the historical process. Thus, even as the very enterprise of historiography is premised on the recognition of how historians are themselves the products of the historical process, historians have revealed the limits to that recognition in their approach to the subject. This essay shows how deeply rooted this duality has been in the study of American historiography and illuminates some of its sources by placing Kirkendall's book in the context of how the MVHA and the OAH have treated historiography over the course of the organization's history.
