曆史學傢、劇作傢、社會活動傢。1922年生於紐約一個猶太裔工人傢庭,23歲時作為美國空軍的一名投彈手參加瞭二戰,這一經曆促成瞭他日後強烈的反戰觀點。戰後,津恩先後就讀於紐約大學和哥倫比亞大學,獲得博士學位。在黑人女子學院斯佩爾曼學院教授瞭七年曆史後,津恩在波士頓大學擔任政治學教授,直到24年後退休。
1980年,《美國人民的曆史》齣版,並獲得1981年國傢圖書奬提名。津恩以被壓迫人民的抗爭為視角,敘述瞭一部以人民反抗運動為主題的美國史,取代標準曆史教科書,在美國大學和高中廣泛教授,紐約時報稱其二十多年來“年均銷售超過十萬冊”,成為美國最受歡迎的曆史教材。
2008年,津恩成立瞭“津恩教育計劃”,在全美各地的初、高中推廣教授《美國人民的曆史》。從20世紀60年代投身黑人民權運動,到後來反對越戰、伊戰的和平運動,津恩活躍在社會舞颱上超過半個世紀,2010年獲得馬丁•路德•金人道主義奬錶彰。同年,津恩在加州聖莫尼卡去世。
A Young People's History of the United States brings to US history the viewpoints of workers, slaves, immigrants, women, Native Americans, and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young people. A Young People's History of the United States is also a companion volume to The People Speak, the film adapted from A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States.
Beginning with a look at Christopher Columbus’s arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for workers’ rights, women’s rights, and civil rights during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ending with the current protests against continued American imperialism, Zinn in the volumes of A Young People’s History of the United States presents a radical new way of understanding America’s history. In so doing, he reminds readers that America’s true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals.

評分另類美國史《我反抗》 這是一本另類的美國史,是作者《美國人民的曆史》的普及版,那麼另類到底另類在哪裏呢?這一本美國史和彆的美國史到底有什麼重要的區彆呢? 看瞭纔知道,原來曆史是和撰寫曆史的人有關的,什麼人就寫齣什麼樣的曆史,什麼人就有什麼樣的視角。 ...
評分對這本書非常滿意,這正是我想要看到的那種曆史書——真實的,赤裸裸的,揭去瞭那層僞飾遮掩的麵紗,完全袒露在讀者的麵前。完全無法理解,本該是最容易讓學生們喜歡的曆史教科書卻為什麼會越改越乏味,我們從書本上永遠隻能夠看到君主領袖的英明果決或昏聵無能,但那並不是人...
評分什麼是曆史,曆史是勝利者書寫的勛章;什麼是真相,那是存在於曆史之中,不管人們知不知道都存在的事件。自古成王敗寇,最後留下的都是對統治者有益的事情,而那些不益的、無關的就被他們隨意的丟棄,然後給後人留下瞭種種充滿謎團的曆史。 一直覺得,曆史就...
