Howard Zinn was a historian, playwright, and social activist. He was a shipyard worker and a bombardier with the U.S. Army Air Force in Europe during the Second World War before he went to college under the GI Bill and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University.
Zinn taught at Spelman College and Boston University, and was a visiting professor at the University of Paris and the University of Bologna. He received the Thomas Merton Award, the Eugene V. Debs Award, the Upton Sinclair Award, and the Lannan Literary Award. He lived in Auburndale, Massachusetts.
A scintillating lecture and discussion by the legendary teacher, historian and activist. Here Zinn explains with great humor and passion how his teaching, his history and his activism are grounded in the stories of social movements-labor, civil rights, feminists, anti-war-which are usually left out or grossly distorted in mainstream history writing.</P>
从小相信英雄史观有问题,大概是宣传的关系吧。总是认为历史的道路是人民的选择。认为胜利的战争和伟大的国家蕴含着理想和正义。 所以这本书才有发人深省的机会。 试举一例: 我一直觉得独立战争是好的(“典型的非黑即白的历史观”),而能够激流勇退,没有成为独裁统治者...

评分《牛津美国史》(Oxford History of the United States)是现代历史学的一项伟大成就。该丛书自1982年起陆续出版,已获得三次普利策奖。其中有几册精彩绝伦,例如詹姆斯·麦克弗森(James McPherson)有关内战的《为自由而战的呐喊》(Battle Cry of Freedom),以及大卫·肯尼...
评分两个多月读完Howard Zinn的《A People's History of the United States》(中文有霍华德·津恩《美国人民的历史》,上海人民出版社,许先春译,2001年出版),本来想写一篇完整的读后感,但在看了王缉思《<美国人民的历史>序》之后,感觉不能超过,就只谈一点他人没有谈到的想...
评分谈起美国,很多人会想起 独立宣言,“life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness”,甚至将其看作民主的化身。这本书则让我们看到,今天的美国,是由鲜血与谎言造就的。 1492年,哥伦比亚发现新大陆,开始了对印第安人的屠杀。17世纪初,弗吉尼亚公司和五月花号来到...
