Anthony Arnove Bücher

Zinn schreibt in für ein Geschichtsbuch ungewöhnlich eingängiger Sprache nicht aus der Perspektive der Eroberer, sondern der Eroberten, spricht nicht vom Ruhm der Sieger, sondern über die Verluste der Besiegten, erklärt nicht im gehobenen Stil der Herrschenden, sondern in der ungeschmückten Sprache der Beherrschten: der Fabrikarbeiter, Frauen, Sklaven, Schwarzen, Indianer, der Vertreter der Arbeiterklasse und der Einwanderer. Seit der ersten Auflage vor 32 Jahren ist Zinns unkonventionelle Darstellung der amerikanischen Geschichte von Kolumbus bis zur Ära Clinton 1,5 Millionen Mal verkauft worden und entwickelte sich vom Geheimtipp unter Studenten zu einem Standardwerk an amerikanischen Schulen und Universitäten.

The book is characterized by its pressing themes and relevance, as highlighted by Arundhati Roy's endorsement. It addresses critical social and political issues, urging readers to engage with contemporary challenges. Through compelling narratives and thought-provoking insights, it aims to inspire action and reflection, making it an essential read for those concerned about the state of the world. The author's passionate voice resonates throughout, calling for awareness and change in the face of adversity.
