Zinn is always a winner
I have included all of Howard Zinn's work in my library, and I am proud to add this one to his impressive body of work. For history teachers who want to include first-hand expressions of what life has been like for the working American in the 20th century, this is a treasure.
Terrific
My copy of this product was in excellent condition and was shipped in a timely manner.
review of a performance in baltimore
Because this was originally posted on Poetry in Baltimore's web site, I began w:
not a reading of poetry but! VERY POETIC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on 11/21 aT THE cREATIVE aLLIANCE- yes I did hit caps lock- (the old Pattterson theatre- Dino- you went there)
a wonderful ensemble of readings- not, strictly poetry but let me give you the list and you'll get the idea: (a packed house- w many activists and arteests)
sad you missed:
Howard Zinn's and Anthony Arnove's "Voices of a People's History" the book is from Seven Stories Press
the readers were Baltimorean activists:
in order of appearance: Narrator- Joyce Scott
Batolome de las Casas (1542) read by Rafael Alvarez
Tecumseh- read (and a lot of these were performances- not just readings)-Joseph Stands w Many
Joseph Martin- Ryan Harvey
Maria Stewart- Rosalind Cauthen
Harriet Robinson- Liz Lerman
Frederick Douglas- David Mitchell
'Sojourner Truth-Sheila Gaskins
Susan B Anthony- Vivienne Shub (in her 90's)
Eugene Debs- Marc Steiner
Sylvia Woods- Olu Butterfly
Stella Nowicki- Sine Jensen
Yuri Kochiyama- Naoko Maeshiba
Malcolm X- Bashi Rose
Howard Zinn- Brendan Walsh
Camilo Meija- Fernando Romero
Cindy Sheehan- Mama Kay Lawal-Muhammed
There were 2 shows....so many high points- Mama Kay as Cyndi Sheehan- made me realise a lot of this stuff you (I) have not heard- because the mainstream media and government does NOT WANY YOU TO- which made the whole evening all the more important and revelatory....
I would say it was political poetry of a high order- but- you could also say these were more political speeches. Just that the oratory is magnificent, and it brought many applause interruptions.
Much credit to organisers- Megan (you say Mee gan and I say May gan) Hamilton and Adrianna Amari.
There is also a movie that covers the memorials and gravesites of American resisters- like John Brown's in upstate N Y- I wish I could remember the title-i'll reference it on my website- david eberhardt. webs
 Voice of A People's History of the United States
It's a good book, with a lot of collections of articles from history. But it'll be nicer if it has more of the author's own opinion
Howard Zinn's quest
Anyone interested in history, academically or otherwise, should read Zinn's work since history is written by the winners, the best fighters, the most arrogant, sonmetimes, the most patient. It would be wise
for history teachers to present "the other side". I highly recommend his work.
