Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history 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 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 historian Howard 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's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Students Outline for the History of the United States This outline has its origin in the demands of the author's own classes, the growing interest in the better teaching of history, the many requests from teachers for a work that will enable them to carry on the source or library method without a larger expenditure of time in preparation than they are able to give, and in the need of a work to enable academies, high schools, and normal schools to meet the requirements of the conference of American Colleges which recommended as the minimum of American History for college entrance: "At least one year's work by the library method with one or more topics by the source method." It is believed that this outline meets, to a fuller degree than any other work now published, the recommendations of the Committee of Ten which say: "The course that best prepares for college entrance is the course that best prepares for actual life, "That the method of study by topics be strongly recommended as tending to stimulate pupils and to encourage independence of judgment. "That in all practical ways an effort should be made to teach the pupils in the latter years to discriminate between the authorities, especially between original sources and secondary writers. "That no formal instruction in political economy be given in the secondary schools but that, in connection particularly with United States history, instruction be given in economic topics. "That the teaching of history should be intimately connected with the teaching of English; first, by using historical works or extracts for reading; second, by writing English compositions from subjects drawn from the historical lessons." In addition to meeting these requirements, this outline removes some of the strongest objections to the outline method. First, by giving abundant references to both sources and secondary writers, the objection that pupils lose too much time in aimless hunting, is taken away. Second, by calling for connective narratives or biographies, at the close of the various periods of our history, the strongest objection that the topical method leaves the information in a disconnected, unorganized state, in the pupil's mind, is entirely removed and the pupil is left much stronger in ability to analyze and to synthesize than he would have been if he had used a narrative text only, for in the narrative text, another has both analyzed and generalized for him. The objection that it consumes too much time comes from a false conception of what constitutes history, and what is the real aim of history study. The idea that it is a narrative, leads to the idea that so much of it must be committed by each student each term regardless of growth in power to judge of historic events. But if the aim be power to judge wisely, to know, to feel, and to do right, then the teacher will be willing to assign fewer topics if by so doing a deeper insight into each may be gained. But in the end time is saved. Time is always saved by presenting our subjects in accordance with the laws of the human mind. Like a wise gardener, who prepares his soil before he plants his seed, an outline prepares the pupil's mind before it presents facts. When a pupil has read a topic or a question from his outline, and then goes to look it up, he goes for a purpose; and when the information is found it gives pleasure because there was desire, and it is more easily remembered because the mind was prepared to receive it. There is little in this outline that is original. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline and Notes on United States History One end has been kept steadily in view - to furnish the method and the material for a rational stud of United States History - to state the problem and furnish the means of its solution. Two things have been done to secure this end: 1. A discussion of the Central Truth in the subject and the necessary relations under which events can be viewed; 2. A presentation of material, original and selected, and of an outline and references to matter found either in text-books or libraries. To furnish the student the method and material of thought which shall yield the highest discipline and culture, is not an easy task. This question constantly confronts one: How much can the teacher safely do? How far shall a discussion of the Central Idea and its application in working out the problem be carried? Shall the outline present the logical relations of the subject, or shall the student be required to discover them? After the Introduction, the thinking and organization of the subject is done mainly by the student - the work of the teacher being directive. This book was written for use in this school. It is adapted, however, to use in High Schools, and such other schools as place the history of our country on a higher plane than can be reached by the Grammar Grades. It is hoped that it will be helpful to such teachers as are trying to make a real study of History. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
