Here in their own words are Frederick Douglass, George Jackson, Chief Joseph,
Martin Luther King Jr., Plough Jogger, Sacco and Vanzetti, Patti Smith, Bruce
Springsteen, Mark Twain, and Malcolm X, to name just a few of the hundreds
appearing in Voices of a People's History of the United States, edited by
Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove. Paralleling the 24 chapters of Zinn's A
People's History of the United States, Voices of a People's History is the
long-awaited companion volume to the national bestseller. For Voices, Zinn and
Arnove have selected testimonies to living history-speeches, letters, poems,
songs-left by the people who make history happen, but who usually are
underrepresented or misrepresented in history books: women, Native Americans,
workers, blacks and Latinos. Zinn has written short introductions to the texts,
which themselves range in length from letters or poems of less than a page to
entire speeches and essays that run several pages and longer. Voices of a
People's History is a symphony of our nation's original voices, rich in ideas
and actions, an embodiment of the power of civil disobedience and dissent,
wherein lies our nation's true spirit of defiance and resilience.
