Reviews

This book consists of thirteen chapters, a foreword by Frances Fox Piven and an afterword by Noam Chomsky. The configuration (of sections) is perfect for teaching the text... Rich with significant concepts...As I read each section of this book I imagined myself walking through passenger cars on Zinn's famous metaphor of history as a moving train (2002) and each contributor sparked an inner dialogue with their unique readings and encounters with Zinn's life. -Teacher's College Record
