📘 Description:

A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn is a groundbreaking and provocative retelling of American history. Zinn presents history from the perspective of marginalized groups who have been left out of traditional narratives, such as Native Americans, African Americans, women, and workers.

Starting with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, Zinn critically examines the impact of European colonization and how it shaped the power dynamics and social structures of the United States. His unique approach challenges the conventional, celebratory view of U.S. history, offering an alternative perspective on the nation’s development.
