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

"A People's History of the New World," by Howard Zinn, explores the history of the Americas from the perspective of marginalized people rather than traditional leaders. The book examines the impact of colonization on indigenous populations, enslaved Africans, and working-class communities. Zinn emphasizes social struggles and resistance movements, highlighting how history is often told from the viewpoint of the powerful. This approach challenges readers to reconsider established narratives and understand the complexities of historical events, acknowledging the voices of those who have been overlooked in mainstream accounts.
