Voices Of A People’s History Of The United States: 10 Anniversary Edition

The 10th Anniversary Edition of a top-selling Zinn with new material

Selected testimonies to living history-speeches, letters, poems, songs-left by the people who make history happen but are often left out of history books-women, workers, nonwhites. Introductions to the original texts by Zinn.

New voices being considered for this 10th Anniversary Edition include Chelsea Manning, in the statement she made after being sentenced to 35 years in prison; a member of The Dream Defenders (a youth organization that confronts systemic racial inequality); those involved in the Undocumented Youth movement (who occupied, marched, and demonstrated in support of the DREAM Act); a member of the Day Laborers movement; The Chicago Teachers’ Union strikers; and Glen Greenwald (or another critic of President Obama) on governmental secrecy.
