Words of Howard Zinn
Words:Howard Zinn
Howard Zinn, 1922-2010 was an activist, historian, political scientist, social critic, playwright, and author of the bestseller A People’s History of the United States.
Zinn has been active in the Civil Rights, anti-war, and many other progressive movements in the United States. His work approaches United States history from a different perspective, focusing largely on the history of class struggle throughout our nation’s story.
The original “People’s History,” has expanded in many ways including, Voices, which acts as a companion text full of primary source information and personal accounts of U.S. History, and A Young People’s History of the United States.
His work is considered a must read for anyone seeking to analyze bias and perspective in our history, as well as anyone who is interested in activism or social awareness beyond the medium of traditional text books.
