Description - Original Zinn by David Barsamian
Based on Howard Zinn’s interviews on National Public Radio over the past five years, History Matters brings into focus a wide range of foreign policy and domestic issues central to our lives today. Told in relaxed manner yet filled with the humor and pungency that have made Zinn’s work perennial bestsellers, the essays cover such diverse topics as: the Kennedy brothers; Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “dream about socialism”; American Imperialism; why sanctions are weapons of mass destruction; the effects of civil disobedience; FDR’s radical 1944 Economic Bill of Rights and his Fireside Chats; the role of artists—from Langston Hughes to Bob Dylan to Dalton Trumbo—in relation to social change; the importance of memory and history, and much more. Insightful and enlightening, here is Howard Zinn at his irrepressible best; a scholar whose vast intellect and knowledge make history immediate and relevant for us all.
