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>
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...

評分Chapter 1 何为文明? 大航海时代的西班牙人,初到美洲大陆便用行动证明了自己无疑是智人的后代,他们重演了智人走出非洲的扩张史:种族灭绝。 美洲红种人,无知的海员哥伦布称之为印第安人,彼时生活在高度文明之中,采集、种植、狩猎的公有制社会形态。有艺术,有音乐,...
評分这本书记载的很多历史发人深省,有很多话意味深长。 美国两百余年的历程,历来被看作是一个荣光闪耀的历程。从《独立宣言》到《美国宪法》,从《废除黑奴宣言》到《罗斯福新政》,一切那么辉煌壮丽。它光辉太强、太剧烈,以致于几乎掩盖了所有的黑暗。但是,作者通过他锐利的眼...
評分基本上是唯一一部值得买的美国通史。但最好的读法不是一次读完,而是对照着时期慢慢读。而且读者最好已经具备美国历史的基本知识,读来才有趣。就好比从中学课本中学习过中国近代史之后,再读各种海外出版的近代史,才过瘾,你以为是这样的东西原来是那样的。若不具备基本知识...
