This account of US history from the bottom up tells the real story of the people, rather than the flag-waving official story.
This is a new edition of the radical social history of America from Columbus to the present.
This powerful and controversial study turns orthodox American history upside down to portray the social turmoil behind the "march of progress".
Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People''s History is the only volume to tell America''s story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America''s women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of America''s greatest battles - the fights for fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women''s rights, racial equality - were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus''s arrival through the Clinton years A People''s History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, is an insightful analysis of the most important events in US history.Get A People's History of the United States by at the best price and quality guaranteed only at Werezi Africa's largest book ecommerce store.
