| Yeah, I'm not Howard Zinn. I just love the man. Here's some info on Mr. Zinn, courtesy of wikipedia . ------------------------------------------------------- Howard Zinn (born August 24, 1922) is an American historian and political scientist.Zinn's philosophy incorporates ideas from Marxism, anarchism, socialism, and social democracy. Since the 1960s, he has been a visible figure in the Civil Rights and anti-war movements in the United States.Author of 20 books, including the best seller A People's History of the United States, Zinn is Professor Emeritus in the Political Science Department at Boston University. He lives in the Auburndale neighborhood of Newton, Massachusetts with his wife Roslyn. The couple have two children, Myla and Jeff, and five grandchildren. Roslyn is an artist and editor who has had a role in editing all of Zinn's books.As a historian, Zinn found that the point of view expressed in traditional history books was often limited. He created a historical text, A People's History of the United States, with the goal to provide other perspectives of American history. The text depicts the struggles of Native Americans against European and U.S. conquest and expansion, slaves against slavery, unionists and other workers against capitalists, women against patriarchy, African-Americans against racism and for civil rights, and others whose stories are not often told in mainstream histories. |
