Readings from Voices of a People's History of the United States

Readings from Voices of a People's History of the United States

by Howard Zinn




The most bold and empowered words of America's past are resurrected here by some of the leading voices of the present. Inspired and heartrending, Howard Zinn, Anthony Arnove, John Sayles, Sarah Jones, Paul Robeson Jr., Lili Taylor, Wallace Shawn, Leslie Silva, and Brian Jones perform the rousing words of dissent that have shaped and quickened the pulse of a nation.

This audio CD consists of twenty-one readings thoughtfully selected by Zinn and Arnove from Voices of a People's History of the United States, the long-awaited primary source companion to Zinn's seminal A People's History of the United States. Among them, a spirited Lili Taylor as a willful Susan B. Anthony objects to her arrest for "knowingly voting without having a lawful right to vote," Paul Robeson Jr. delivers his father's unread statement before the House Un-American Activities Committee from the height of the McCarthy era, and Sarah Jones reads Native American resister and Shawnee leader Tecumseh's stirring appeal to the Osage people to unite against colonial forces.

At times heartwarming, other times wrenching, but always moving, these lively renditions bring the brazen spirit of rebellion into your living room.
