A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn
| Manufactured in | : | United States |
Long considered one of the most foundational texts for those with a desire to view history through a more progressive lens, Howard Zinn’s account of the darker side of US history pulls back the curtain on the less savory parts of our story. For Zinn, the story of America is more than just the inspirational historical figures and airbrushed events that every student is taught; the story of America is the Trail of Tears, the Triangle fire, and the unending battle for equality waged by African Americans over hundreds of years. Zinn’s stirring and informative writing deserves to be read by every American young or old. If we want progress now, we need to understand the reality of what we’re progressing from.
