A Young People’s History Of The United States: Revised and Updated Centennial Edition
Howard Zinn
A Young People’s History of the United Statesbrings to US history the viewpoints of workers, slaves, immigrants, women, Native Americans, and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young people.
Beginning with a look at Christopher Columbus’s arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for workers’ rights, women’s rights, and civil rights during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ending with the current protests against continued American imperialism, Zinn presents a radical new way of understanding America’s history. In so doing, he reminds readers that America’s true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals.
A Young People’s History of the United Statesis also a companion volume toThe People Speak, the film adapted fromA People’s History of the United StatesandVoices of a People’s History of the United States.
