Book Description: 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 of voices that appear in Voices of a People's History of the United States. This volume is identical in size and format to Zinn's A People's History, and the 24 chapters parallel the chapters in that book. Zinn writes short introductions to the texts, which range in length from letters or poems of less than a page to entire speeches and essays that run several pages or longer. Voices is a symphony of our nation's original voices, rich in ideas and actions, the embodiment of the power of civil disobedience and dissent wherein lies our nation's true spirt of defiance and resilience. Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States tells the story of this country from the point of view of the people usually left out of history books-women, Native Americans, workers, blacks and Latinos. It has served to remind generations of Americans that democracy is fundamentally a conversation between people, one that has always been led by working people and those with the least to lose and the most to gain in a truly democratic society. Each year, A People's History is read by more people than the year before; recently, it sold its millionth copy. Beloved historian and activist Howard Zinn is the author of the best-selling A People's History of the United States and many other books, including The Zinn Reader, and, most recently, Terrorism and War. Anthony Arnove is the editor of Terrorism and War by Howard Zinn and Iraq Under Siege. An activist and regu-lar contributor to ZNet, his writing has appeared in The Nation, The Financial Times and Mother Jones.
