"...One reason is that political history is seen in the academy as the exaltation of straight white males, who monopolized both politics and history for too long, and it is time to redress the balance...." DK
Academia here has not exalted big picture politics and history, mostly about straight white males in the modern period from 1500, nearly enough, for a long time now, a conclusion you yourself have reached, as I recall, in past posts I have read.
I believe that Western Civilization citizens, predominantly white and of whatever gender or sexual orientations, will soon find that straight white males dominated politics and history for not nearly long enough, when even now other civilizations' males, of differing color, and all a whole lot less sympathetic to whites of any gender or orientation, gradually take over world dominance. They will not be charitable or grateful to their white heritage past of domination and shame.
It is not a conclusion I am thrilled to state, and, frankly, The West can now do nothing to reverse it, certainly not liberalize more in the direction of multiculturalism multicolorism, or, hardly, as you suggest reverse the balance, but all the evidence I see is in that direction.
All the best
