A Young Peoples 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 Columbuss arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for workers rights, womens 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 Americas history. In so doing, he reminds readers that Americas true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals. A Young Peoples History of the United States is also a companion volume to The People Speak, the film adapted from A Peoples History of the United States and Voices of a Peoples History of the United States.The visionary historical work of professor and activist HOWARD ZINN (1922-2010) is widely considered one of the most important and influential of our era. After his experience as a bombardier in World War II, Zinn became convinced that there could no longer be such a thing as a just war, because the vast majority of victims in modern warfare are, increasingly, innocent civilians. In his books, including A Peoples History of the United States, its companion volumeVoices of a Peoples History of the United States, and countless other titles, Zinn affirms the power of the people to influence the course of events. REBECCA STEFOFF is the author of more than 100 nonfiction books for children and young adults, and she has adapted several best-selling history books for younger readers.Book specifications:Collection: For Young PeopleDimensions: 201 x 140Author: Howard ZinnCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2023Publishing Month: 1Pages: 544Language: EnglishPublisher: Triangle SquareWeight: 581 g
