Cultural Studies. When Howard Zinn, America's best-loved historian, began his work on Voices of a People's History of the United States, his goal was to disrupt the stale paradigm of the inaccurate and at times deceitful representations of US history. In its place, he offered some of our nations' finest testimonies to living history--speeches, letters, poems, songs--left by the people who make history happen but who usually are left our of history books--women, workers, people of color. Zinn succeeded exceptionally, and now this phenomenal compilation has been set to stage. This DVD features Zinn and co-editor Anthony Arnove introducing the historical context of various excerpts of Voices, as well as seven most accomplished actors who help bring to life a symphony of our nation's original voices.
