Description
When Howard Zinn died in 2010, millions of readers mourned the loss of the influential historian whose famed approach of telling history from the perspective of the people who lived it, rather than oppressive powerbrokers, inspired activists, historians and academics. This concise and accessible reader combines Zinn's most notable works, including memoir, plays and his infamous People's History of the United States, with an introduction by Alice Walker and an afterword by Noam Chomsky.
