Synopsis of La otra historia de los Estados Unidos
Celebrated for its crisp, clear prose and well-researched sources, The Other American Story is the only title that tells the story of the United States from the point of view of women, workers, African Americans, Native Americans, the working poor and immigrant labourers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of his country’s great battles – the struggles for fair wages, the eight-hour day, laws to regulate child labour, occupational safety and health standards, universal suffrage, women’s rights, racial equality – were fought at the grassroots, in the face of fierce opposition.
