A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present by Howard Zinn, ISBN 0060528427 : Since its original landmark publication in 1980, "A People's History of the United States" has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, "A People's History" is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, "A People's History of the United States," which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightf...

Common Ground: Reimagining American History by Gary Y. Okihiro, ISBN 0691070075 : In "Common Ground, Gary Okihiro uses the experiences of Asian Americans to reconfigure the ways in which American history can be understood. He examines a set of binaries--East and West, black and white, man and woman, heterosexual and homosexual--that have structured the telling of our nation's history and shaped our ideas of citizenship since the late nineteenth century. Okihiro not only exposes the artifice of these binaries but also offers a less rigid and more embracing set of stories on which to ground a national history.Influenced by European hierarchical thinking in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Anglo Americans increasingly categorized other newcomers to the United States. Binaries formed in the American imagination, creating a sense of coherence among white citizens during times of rapid and far-reaching social change. Within each binary, however, Asian Americans have proven disruptive: they cannot be fully described as either Eastern or Western; they challenge the racial categories of black and white; and within the gender and sexual binaries of man and woman, ...

In his grandest work yet, the acclaimed storyteller constructs a world vastly different from the one we know.... The Years of Rice and Salt It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur-the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if? What if the plague killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could have been-a history that stretches across centuries, a history that sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans horrible famine and magnificent innovation. These are the years of rice and salt. This is a universe where the first ship to reach the New World travels across the Pacific Ocean from China and colonization spreads from west to east. This is a universe wh...
Rivers of Gold: The Rise of the Spanish Empire, from Columbus to Magellan : RIVERS OF GOLD is the best kind of history: absorbing and authoritative, vast in its erudition and enlightenment, equally serious and riveting. You think you know the story of the "discovery" of the new world, but as the New York Times said about Hugh Thomas's CONQUEST, it is "so dramatic ... that despite its being familiar history you almost don't want to give the story away." It's the story of Fernando and Isabel, one of the most powerful queens in the history of the world; of Columbus and the other sailors who fearlessly and fecklessly made their way to the Caribbean; of the court intrigue in Europe as each empire vied for dominance in the new world; and of the second generation of explorers, most notably, Magellan, who went on to conquer much of the western hemisphere in the name of Christianity and their kings. Thomas sets the stage by establishing the history of religious intolerance in Spain leading up to 1492, recounting the conquest of Grenada and the expulsion from Spain of the Muslims; the Inquisition against the Jews; and Isabel and Fernando's consolidation of power. Religious pe...

Legends, Lies and World History by Richard Shenkman, ISBN 0060922559 : Bestselling author of "Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History" now takes on the world! Skewering the nonsense we were all taught about the world's revolutions, religions, heroes, and inventors, "Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of World History" is a whirlwind tour of history from the Trojan War to World War II. Eclectic and fun, Richard Shenkman's well-documented revelations prove that muck of history is indeed "but a fable agreed upon." Queen Victoria may have usually worn black, but she loved to drink and party. During World War II the English were conned into believing it was Winston Churchill who broadcast the speech about this being their finest hour. But it wasn't Churchill, it was Norman Shelley, a radio actor hired as a stand-in. Marie Antoinette did not say, "Let them eat cake, " Churchill didn't coin the phrase "the Iron Curtain," and Caesar never said, "Et tu, Brute?" Scandal in the English monarchy is nothing new: Fifteen kings fathered children out of wedlock. One queen helped depose her husband so her lover could take his place. Three English kings were gay.
