Description - A Young People's History of the United States: Revised and Updated Centennial Edition by Howard Zinn
The seminal American history book for middle grade and high school readers, now revised and updated for the centennial of Howard Zinn's birth.
"A brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those who have been exploited ... the book is an excellent antidote to establishment history." - Library Journal
A Young People's History of the United States brings to US history the viewpoints of workers, enslaved people, immigrants, women, Black people, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young people.
Beginning with a look at Christopher Columbus's arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for workers' rights, women's rights, and civil rights during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ending with the current protests against continued American imperialism, Zinn presents a radical new way of understanding America's history. In so doing, he reminds readers that America's true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals.
A Young People's History of the United States is also a companion volume to The People Speak, the film adapted from A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People's History of the United States.
