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.

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。

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。
對過於政治正確的書,我一般不太敢動。但這部偶然翻開的《我反抗:一部獨特的美國史》,卻似乎還是挺有翻翻看的價值。 這本書的作者霍華德·津恩(Howard Zinn,1922-2010)是曆史學傢,也是著名的左派,1980年齣版瞭《美國人民的曆史》,該書以被壓迫人民為視角,以人民反抗運...

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...
