Here in their own words are Frederick Douglass, George Jackson, Chief Joseph, Martin Luther King Jr., Plough Jogger, Sacco and Vanzetti, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Mark Twain, and Malcolm X, to name just a few of the hundreds of voices that appear in Voices of a People's History of the United States, edited by Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove. Paralleling the twenty-four chapters of Zinn's A People's History of the United States, Voices of a People's History is the long-awaited companion volume to the national bestseller. For Voices, Zinn and Arnove have selected testimonies to living history--speeches, letters, poems, songs--left by the people who make history happen but who usually are left out of history books--women, workers, nonwhites. Zinn has written short introductions to the texts, which range in length from letters or poems of less than a page to entire speeches and essays that run several pages. Voices of a People's History is a symphony of our nation's original voices, rich in ideas and actions, the embodiment of the power of civil disobedience and dissent wherein lies our nation's true spirit of defiance and resilience.;Columbus and Las Casas -- The first slaves -- Servitude and rebellion -- Preparing the revolution -- Half a revolution -- The early women's movement -- Indian removal -- The war on Mexico -- Slavery and defiance -- Civil War and class conflict -- Strikers and populists in the Gilded Age -- The expansion of the empire -- Socialists and wobblies -- Protesting the First World War / Colby Smart -- From the jazz age to the uprisings of the 1930s -- World War II and McCarthyism -- The black upsurge against racial segregation / Natalia Boettcher -- Vietnam and beyond: the historic resistance / Mile Benhow and Robin Pickering -- Women, gays, and other voices of resistance / Jack Bareilles -- Losing control in the 1970s / Jennifer Rosebrook -- The Carter-Reagan-Bush consensus / Ron Perry -- Panama, the 1991 Gulf War, and the war at home / Robert Standish -- Challenging Bill Clinton -- Bush II and the "war on terror" -- War and Injustice: People speak out / Jeff Coomber, Adam Crug, Nicole Sinclair, and Megan Watson.
