Historian Howard Zinnโsย A Peopleโs History of the United Statesย chronicles American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official narrative taught in schoolsโwith its emphasis on great men in high placesโto focus on the street, the home, and the workplace.
Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research,ย itis the only volume to tell America’s story from the point of view ofโand in the words ofโAmerica’s women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As Zinn shows, many of our country’s greatest battlesโthe fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women’s rights, racial equalityโwere carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.
Covering Christopher Columbus’s arrival through President Clinton’s first term,ย A People’s History of the United Statesย features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.ย This edition also includes an introduction by Anthony Arnove, who wrote, directed, and producedย The People Speakย with Zinn and who coauthored, with Zinn,ย Voices of a Peopleโs History of the United States.
Howard Zinn (1922โ2010) was a historian, playwright, and social activist. In addition toย A Peopleโs History of the United States, which has sold more than two million copies, he is the author ofย numerous books includingย The People Speak,ย Passionate Declarations,ย andย the autobiography,ย You Canโt Be Neutral on a Moving Train.
