Introduction

Howard Zinn, the great American activist who firmly, historian and Inspirational writer, the author of “A People's History of the United States”, a book that literally changed the consciousness of a generation. Here he developed with care, lucidity, and comprehensive sweep his fundamental message about the crucial role of the people who remain unknown in carrying forward the endless struggle for peace and justice, and about the victims of the systems of power that create their own versions of history and seek to impose it. What is interesting of course Zinn book is his courage to reveal the dark side of the new continent 's history and commitment to the definition of the subaltern in Spivak : they are marginalized in the politics of narrating history . Shooting targets do not bear responsibility : Christopher Columbus and the historians who write naive version of the arrival of the colonists . In the words of Zinn , any particular emphasis in the writing of history would support an interest . Can be political, economic , racial or national . But unfortunately in the historical narrative , this bias is not as bright as in the writing of the map . Historian writes as if any reader has a single common interest . The particular writers seemed to forget that the production of knowledge is a tool of combat in the antagonism between social classes , races , nations or peoples .

Howard Zinn : The Biased Person

By Nani Fitriani

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”
― Howard Zinn

INTRODUCTION

Zinn is a historian who revealed in the darkness side of the American continent. He came as a super hero who revealed in his book that is not Christopher Columbus who discovered American continent. "Who is the most influential historian in America? Could it be Pulitzer Prize winners Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. or Joseph Ellis or David McCullough, whose scholarly works have reached a broad literary public? The answer is none of the above. The accolade belongs instead to the unreconstructed, anti-American Marxist Howard Zinn

Howard Zinn: Influential Mutilation of American History

‘If history is to be creative, to anticipate a possible future without denying the past, it should, I believe, emphasize new possibilities by disclosing those hidden episodes of the past when, even if in brief flashes, people showed their ability to resist, to join together, occasionally to win. I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past’s fugitive moments of compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare.That, being as blunt as I can, is my approach to the history of the United States. The reader may as well know that before going on’ (Howard Zinn, 1980).
