About This Book
Amazon.com
Consistently lauded for its lively, readable prose, this revised and
updated edition of A People's History of the United States turns
traditional textbook history on its head. Howard Zinn infuses the
often-submerged voices of blacks, women, American Indians, war
resisters, and poor laborers of all nationalities into this thorough
narrative that spans American history from Christopher Columbus's
arrival to an afterword on the Clinton presidency.
Addressing his trademark reversals of perspective, Zinn--a teacher,
historian, and social activist for more than 20 years--explains, "My
point is not that we must, in telling history, accuse, judge, condemn
Columbus in absentia. It is too late for that; it would be a useless
scholarly exercise in morality. But the easy acceptance of atrocities as
a deplorable but necessary price to pay for progress (Hiroshima and
Vietnam, to save Western civilization; Kronstadt and Hungary, to save
socialism; nuclear proliferation, to save us all)--that is still with
us. One reason these atrocities are still with us is that we have
learned to bury them in a mass of other facts, as radioactive wastes are
buried in containers in the earth."
If your last experience of American history was brought to you by junior
high school textbooks--or even if you're a specialist--get ready for the
other side of stories you may not even have heard. With its vivid
descriptions of rarely noted events, A People's History of the United
States is required reading for anyone who wants to take a fresh look at
the rich, rocky history of America.
