bookshelves: american-studies, history
A very good anthology of primary source documents that complements Zinn's classic work, "The People's History of the United States" and thereby provides an important corrective to earlier exceptionalist, nationalist, ethnocentric (i.e., white), and celebratory narratives of US history. Whether it be Bartholomé de Las Casas's "In Defense of the Indians" (1550), Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman?" (1851), Tecumseh's Speech to the Osages (1811-12), or Yuri Kochiyama's "Then Came the War" (1991), the texts in this book help to recover the historical struggles and debates in America's rich, complex history. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48293016 to: Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln (Paperback) by Doris Kearns Goodwin
