The Indispensable Zinn

Resumen del libro

Designed to highlight Zinn's most important writings, The Indispensable Zinn includes excerpts from Zinn's bestselling A People's History of the United States; his memoir, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train; his inspiring writings on the civil rights movement; and the full text of his celebrated play Marx in Soho. Noted historian and activist Timothy Patrick McCarthy provides essential historical and biographical context for each selection.

With an introduction from Zinn's former Spellman College student and longtime friend Alice Walker and an afterword by Zinn's friend and colleague Noam Chomsky, The Indispensable Zinn is both a fitting tribute to the legacy of a man whose work changed the way millions of people saw the past (Noam Chomsky) and a powerful and accessible introduction for anyone discovering Zinn for the first time.
