  • "Consistently lauded for its lively, readable prose, A People's History of the United States turns traditional textbook history on its head. Howard Zinn infuses the often-submerged voices of blacks, women, American Indians, war resisters, and poor laborers of all nationalities into this thorough narrative that spans American history from Christopher Columbus's arrival to an afterword on the Clinton presidency. Addressing his trademark reversals of perspective, Zinn--a teacher, historian, and social activist for more than 20 years--explains, "My point is not that we must, in telling history, accuse, judge, condemn Columbus in absentia. It is too late for that; it would be a useless scholarly exercise in morality. But the easy acceptance of atrocities as a deplorable but necessary price to pay for progress (Hiroshima and Vietnam, to save Western civilization; Kronstadt and Hungary, to save socialism; nuclear proliferation, to save us all)--that is still with us. One reason these atrocities are still with us is that we have learned to bury them in a mass of other facts, as radioactive wastes are buried in containers in the earth." If your last experience of American history was brought to you by junior high school textbooks--or even if you're a specialist--get ready for the other side of stories you may not even have heard. With its vivid descriptions of rarely noted events, A People's History of the United States is required reading for anyone who wants to take a fresh look at the rich, rocky history of America."
  • "En un estilo vivaz y una prosa agradable, Howard Zinn nos ofrece, en La otra historia de los Estados Unidos, una perspectiva inesperada y necesaria, los hechos y acontencimientos que forman parte de la historia de este país. Con humor y profunda sensibilidad el profesor Zinn saca las voces sumergidas de negros, de mujeres, de nativos indigenas, de trabajadores pobres, de inmigrantes de todas las nacionalidades que llegan a estas costas. Esta historia comienza con la llegada de los primeros europeos y termina con un analisis de la presidencia de Clinton. Esta obra, ahora traducida al espanol, sera un aporte para las comunidades latinas que comienzan a entender cuál ha sido su aporte a la construccion de este pais."

  • "A social and cultural history of America, beginning with the arrival of Columbus in the Bahamas in 1492 and continuing through the mid-1990s, focusing on the human cost of the decisions made by politicians and businessmen, and including discussion questions and suggested teaching techniques."
  • "Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history."@en
  • "Howard Zinn's books have inspired students and activists of all ages, affirming the power of ordinary people to influence the course of history. In La Otra Historia of Los Estados Unidos, the definitive Spanish-language edition of Zinn's classic A People's History of the United States, Zinn takes on the standard narrative of American history showing the lie behind the official history - exposing Columbus not as discoverer, but as murderer; the Founding Fathers not as liberators but the foundation of a new and moneyed elite - at the same time championing alternate American heroes, from Bartolomeo de las Casas to Tecumseh to Cesar Chavez, who successfully put a challenge to American imperial power, and won. La Otra Historia de Los Estados Unidos reminds us, once again, that America's true greatness lies not in its military generals, but in its dissident voices."@es
