A People's History Of The United States / by Howard Zinn : RBGz Audio and History Is A Weapon e-Books
A People's History of the United States is a 1980 nonfiction book by American historian and political scientist Howard Zinn. In the book, Zinn seeks to present American history through the eyes of those rarely heard in mainstream histories. A
People's History, though originally a dissident work, has become a
major success and was a runner-up in 1980 for the National Book Award.
It has been adopted for reading in some high schools and colleges
across the United States and has been frequently revised, with the most
recent edition covering events through 2003. In 2003, Zinn was awarded
the Prix des Amis du Monde Diplomatique for the French version of this
book, Une histoire populaire des Etats-Unis. Over one million copies
have been sold.A reviewer
for the The New York Times suggested the book should be "required
reading" for students. In a 1998 interview prior to a speaking
engagement at the University of Georgia,Zinn
told Catherine Parayre he had set "quiet revolution" as his goal for
writing A People's History. "Not a revolution in the classical sense of
a seizure of power, but rather from people beginning to take power from
within the institutions. In the workplace, the workers would take power
to control the conditions of their lives."
In
2004, Zinn published a companion volume with Anthony Arnove, titled
Voices of a People's History of the United States. The book parallels A
People's History in structure, supplementing it with material from
frequently overlooked primary sources.
