A People's History of the New World (book)

"A People's History of the New World" by Howard Zinn presents a narrative of American history from the perspective of marginalized groups, including Indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans, and working-class communities. Unlike traditional histories that often focus on political leaders and major events, Zinn emphasizes the struggles, voices, and experiences of everyday people. The book challenges dominant historical narratives and highlights issues like colonialism, racism, and economic inequality, urging readers to reconsider how history is written and whose stories are told. It serves as a call for social justice and a deeper understanding of the past's impact on the present.
