A People's History of the New United States (Howard Zinn)

"A People's History of the New United States" by Howard Zinn presents an alternative view of American history, focusing on the experiences and struggles of marginalized groups, such as Native Americans, African Americans, women, and the working class. Zinn challenges traditional narratives that emphasize great leaders and events, arguing that understanding the country's past requires recognizing the voices and contributions of ordinary people. By highlighting social movements, protests, and the impact of capitalism and imperialism, Zinn encourages readers to critically examine historical events and their implications for contemporary society and justice.
