Summary

Howard Zinn's books have inspired students and activists of all ages, affirming the power of ordinary people to influence the course of history. In La Otra Historia of Los Estados Unidos, the definitive Spanish-language edition of Zinn's classic A People's History of the United States, Zinn takes on the standard narrative of American history showing the lie behind the official history exposing Columbus not as discoverer, but as murderer; the Founding Fathers not as liberators but the foundation of a new and moneyed eliteat the same time championing alternate American heroes, from Bartolomeo de las Casas to Tecumseh to Cesar Chavez, who successfully put a challenge to American imperial power, and won. Now updated and expanded through the Bush presidency, La Otra Historia de Los Estados Unidos reminds us, once again, that America's true greatness lies not in its military generals, but in its dissident voices.

Author Biography

A través de sus ideas sobre la política y la historia, Howard Zinn (1922-2010) influyó en varias generaciones de individuos en el mundo entero. Quizás la más importante de ellas era suidea de que no es posible ser neutral en un tren en movimiento, que la historia no tiene testigos, solo participantes. Después de ser bombardero en las fuerzas aéreas estadounidenses durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Zinn se hizo activista en contra de la guerra y lo siguio siendo por el resto de su vida. Fue profesor de ciencia política en Boston University durante venticuatro años. La otra historia de los Estados Unidos (en inglés A People’s History of the United States) es una de sus obras más famosas.
