No introductory work of American history has had more influence
over the past forty years than Howard Zinn's A People's History of
the United States, which since its publication in 1980 has sold
more than three million copies. Zinn's iconoclastic critique of
American militarism, racism, and capitalism has drawn bitter
criticism from the Right, most recently from President Donald
Trump, who at his White House Conference on American History in
2020 denounced Zinn as a Left propagandist and accused teachers
aligned with Zinn of indoctrinating students to hate America and be
ashamed of its history. Rethinking America's Past is the first work
to use archival and classroom evidence to assess the impact that
Zinn's classic work has had on historical teaching and learning and
on American culture. This evidence refutes Trump's charges, showing
that rather than indoctrinating students, Zinn's book has been used
by teachers to have students debate and rethink conventional
versions of American history. Rethinking America's Past also
explores the ways Zinn's work fostered deeper, more critical
renderings of the American past in movies and on stage and
television and traces the origins and assesses the strengths and
weaknesses of A People's History in light of more recent historical
scholarship.
