Voices of A People's History of the United States

This anthology contains hundreds of testimonies by people who are often under-represented or misrepresented in American history books: women, Native Americans, workers, and people of color. Ranging from letters and poems of less than a page in length to entire speeches and essays, these selections express the power of civil disobedience and dissent. The volume is organized chronologically around themes such as slavery, the early women's movement, McCarthyism, the Vietnam Era, and the War on Terror. Historian Zinn is the author of A People's History of the United States, and journalist Arnove is a regular contributor to ZNet. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
