In "The Uses of Scholarship," an essay in this book, the historian and activist writes, "It is time that we scholars began to earn our keep in this world." In these wide-ranging pieces, Zinn indeed earns his keep by showing the power of history when it serves the struggle for human rights. These writings will provoke and enlighten the reader with the range of possibilities in the word "history." Essays include "How Free Is Higher Education?" - an account of Zinn's experiences teaching in a Mississippi Freedom School in 1964. "What can I say that will . . . convey the love, respect, and admiration I feel for this unassuming hero who was my teacher and mentor. . . . Howard Zinn is the best teacher I ever had, and the funniest." - Alice Walker

    Enjoyable selection of Zinn's essays most of them are about 3 to 5 pages

    So this was the second book in my post bar exam theme. Didn't have the ability to focus on a sustained work right away, so I guess we can call this pairing the ADD/collected newspaper clippings theme. Not too much to be gained by this juxtaposition, especially compared to all the other two and three books themes below. Most I can say is that Waits embodies one of the definitions of a fulfilling life that Zinn wishes for all of us.

  • Claire

    Howard Zinn is an idealist that has a weak grasp on economics and international relations. Yet would say this is a must read for all high school and undergraduate students. This edition reminds, or makes one aware, of many of the recent atrocities the U.S. is affiliated with, both domestically and abroad. A beginner's reasource of "why to hate politicians and capitalism" but not so much a guide of where to go from there. Stay vigilant, kids.

    I'm not sure how it is that I made it so far in life without having read any Howard Zinn. And from that perspective, this was a good place to start. The collection of essays spans his career and offered a great overview on his perspectives on not just history but war, class struggle, politics, you name it. I'll be picking up some more of his books soon.

  • Sam Motes

    Most if not all of this collection was covered in the "Zinn Reader". I suggest the "Znn Reader" over the individual collections because it is all great stuff. My hit list for Zinn would be "A People's History", "You Can't Be Neutral", and "The Zinn Reader" with a bonus read of "A Power Governments Can't Control" if you aren't charge up enough by the first three.

    pengantar yang memikat dari staughton lynd,
    mempersembahkan tulisan2 yang semula terserak, dari howard zinn.

    tapi ya itu,
    saya lebih suka pengantarnya katimbang tulisan zinn sendiri di buku ini. ini bukan kumpulan tulisan terbaik dari zinn.

  • Barrett Clark

    I appreciate how Zinn takes history beyond the fairy tails that we are taught in school and challenges us to look objectively at the broader stories and ask tough questions. He should be required reading - even for adults.
