À propos de cet audio
"A wonderful, splendid book - a book that should be ready by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future." (Howard Fast)
For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace.
Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles - the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality - were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.
Covering Christopher Columbus' arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.

Histoire
How do politics shape our world, our lives, and our perceptions? How much of “common sense” is actually driven by the ruling class’ needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet? Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen, connections between neoliberal “common sense” and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.

Chris Harman describes the shape and course of human history as a narrative of ordinary people forming and re-forming complex societies in pursuit of common human goals. Interacting with the forces of technological change as well as the impact of powerful individuals and revolutionary ideas, these societies have engendered events familiar to every schoolchild-from the empires of antiquity to the world wars of the 20th century. In a bravura conclusion, Chris Harman exposes the reductive complacency of contemporary capitalism.

Histoire
Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

Above all, it is an enthralling, often surprising story of one of the most important and fascinating Americans who ever lived.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Thomas Piketty’s best-selling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.

In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies.

Histoire
In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

Being and Time was published in 1927 during the Weimar period in Germany, a time of political, social and economic turmoil. Heidegger himself did not escape the pressures and his nationalism, and undeniable anti-Semitism in the following decades cast a shadow over the man, but not the work. Being and Time is not coloured by expressions of his later views (unlike other writings) and remains an outstanding document.

Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation.

In arresting, but harrowing, prose, James Daschuk examines the roles that Old World diseases, climate, and, most disturbingly, Canadian politics—the politics of ethnocide—played in the deaths and subjugation of thousands of Indigenous people in the realization of Sir John A. Macdonald’s “National Dream.” It was a dream that came at great expense: the present disparity in health and economic well-being between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations, and the lingering racism and misunderstanding that permeates the national consciousness to this day.

Awesome and powerful book showing history from the ground up more than the top down like you usually see. Narrator was great, though admittedly I found my attention wandering now and then, but that's probably more me than the narrator.

True to its title
This recounting of American history is, very much so, a people's history. Howard has a very good sense of when to editorialize a smidge and when to just explain things. He also does this thing where, to relay the public's feeling of living through the hardships of X, he'll quote songs from that time to set the appropriate mood... and quite a few times too, I noticed. The quirk is appreciated.
Narrator Jeff Zinn has a much more authoritative-sounding (pardon) voice in this performance than some other the other stuff I've heard from him. As for quirks in the audio or narration, there's nothing that I can fault him for. However, I noticed a weird problem where the volume levels would suddenly get a lot louder or a lot quieter. It's not very jarring or anything, but definitely noticeable when it appears in the much later part of the book.
For what it's worth, as a Canadian who knew practically nothing about American history, I can safely say I walked away with quite a bit of information and would happily pay the full price had I not snagged it with my free credit. ;^)
Excellent work all around; highly recommend.

An extraordinary audiobook
This was well worth the 34 1/2 hours I spent listening. Jeff Zinn did a superb job narrating this massive book written by his historian father. I particularly liked his last chapter when he summed up his philosophy and optimism for a better country that would protect and care for children around the world. Reading or listening to it gives one a very different perspective on world events from the discovery of America to the 90s and beyond. Congratulations to Mr. ZInn for his massive amount of research, and to Jeff for having the patience to read the entire work so well. I am glad your father left this world before seeing the chaos that we are in today. This book was a real eye-opener for me, thank you. Liona Boyd

Eye opening!
I like hearing the story’s that you never hear. It is kind of scary when you realize who really runs the show.
Not sure why the Declaration of Independence was even written after listening to this book, only a few leaders understood it but $$ seems to be the driving force at any cost.
How or when will it end?

History indeed ...
Reminders of social movements needed to advance human life is retold as is needed. People die and the slow painful advance of standards is lost. The suffering goes unmarked. The pain and suffering costs for advanced modern standards of living where seemed needed. Needed or not where paid. Human greed was tied to human ignorance. modern society basis it's new standards on the advances of education. This work be huge. A daring effort by Mr H. ZINN. He himself admitted the subject is too large for one man in one life time to SHOW the history. But he opens the eye of enough person's who may see the need to care to know something as knowing nothing advances the human race backwards. And the whole of the world could be what TV in Star Trek promised. Being freedom from meaningless toil and value of money faded as there is no want but to live a life having meaning.
