DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The purpose of this book is "...to supplement the more general academic works.... The first four editions dealt with groups and themes that traditionally had been ignored or slighted in the existing textbooks: American Indians, blacks, women, the working class, East Asian immigrants, poor whites, the elderly, Mexican-Americans, children, female labor; and the incidence of socialism, peace movements, and revivalism, among other topics. The fifth edition extends the subject matter to include female servants and slaves, seamen, republican values, political education, new religious movements, Indian wars, and frontier violence"--Pref.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
