A review by raerni
A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn

dark informative slow-paced

3.0

Honestly, this book was fine and did what it sought out to do, but in my mind, was also entirely too long. I imagine it might be ground-breaking or eye-opening for those who have only encountered the dominant discourses of U.S. history. However, as someone already immersed in that history, I felt like it dragged. I did learn about some specific incidents that I had not previously encountered, but I fear I won’t maintain them given the pure length of this book. I would have rather engaged with shorter books on specific eras of U.S. history.
