A Young People’s History of the United States

A new, revised and updated single-volume young adult version of Howard Zinn’s classic telling of American history. A Young People’s History of the United States brings to history the viewpoints of workers, slaves, immigrants, women, Native Americans and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young readers. Beginning with a look at Columbus’ arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians and ending with the current protests against continued American imperialism, Zinn presents a radical new way of understanding America’s history.
