A People's History of the United States

Howard Zinn retells United States history through the experiences of workers, Indigenous peoples, enslaved people, women, dissidents, and social movements often pushed away from the center of national narratives. Moving from European colonization into the modern era, he emphasizes conflict over land, labor, race, war, and political power. This edition includes an introduction by Anthony Arnove and presents a widely read, openly revisionist account that has influenced generations of debate about how American history is told.
