#GoodBooks – Newly featured in Charleston Good’s Bookshop
A Young People’s History of the United States: Revised and Updated
Howard Zinn (Author) Rebecca Stefoff (Adapted by) & 1 more
“Zinn’s work exemplifies an approach to history that is radical, regardless of its subject or geographical location. He tells us the untold story, the story of the world’s poor, the world’s workers, the world’s homeless, the world’s oppressed, the people who don’t really qualify as real people in official histories. Howard Zinn painstakingly unearths the details that the powerful seek to airbrush away. He brings official secrets and forgotten histories out into the light, and in doing so, changes the official narrative that the powerful have constructed for us. He strips the grinning mask off the myth of the benign American Empire. To not read Howard Zinn is to do a disservice to yourself.” –Arundhati Roy
