An inspiring and radical conversation between Howard Zinn and journalist Ray Suarez, this collection features never-before-published discussions from 2007 that reexamine American history through the eyes of ordinary people, including slaves, workers, immigrants, women, and Native Americans. Zinn, drawing from his experiences as a soldier, historian, and activist, uses his groundbreaking People’s History of the United States as a foundation to explore pivotal events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, labor struggles, U.S. imperialism, and the fight for equality and immigrant rights. These dialogues cover a wide range of topics, including the Indian Wars, World Wars I and II, and the Cold War, all from a radical perspective. Readers will gain insight into Zinn’s thought processes, motivations, and the rationale behind his iconic work. Suarez’s probing questions elicit Zinn’s humane and often humorous responses, highlighting his moral vision. This collection not only honors Zinn’s legacy but also emphasizes the continued relevance of his insights in today’s discussions about history and social justice.
