About This Item
Monroe. 1993. Common Courage Press. 1st Printing. Very Good in Wrappers. 1567510124. 164 pages. paperback. . keywords: History . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Meaningful democracy depends on the activism of the people. With an often humorous twist, Howard Zinn forcefully argues that propaganda can be exposed, authority challenged, and that the struggle for justice can lead to important breakthroughs in the fight to create a better society. Zinn brings his wit to bear on: Columbus then and now; Just and unjust wars; History and objectivity; The Supreme Court; The Bill of Rights; and many other topics. Discussing activism, Zinn notes - When Reagan announced the blockade of Nicaragua, 550 of us sat in at the federal building in Boston to protest, and were arrested. It seemed too big a group of dissidents to deal with, and charges were dropped. The official complaint against us was: Failure to Quit.' That is, surely, the critical fact about the continuing movement for human rights here and all over the world. A provocative sense of history leading to a provocative sense of the future. inventory #5005 ISBN: 1567510124.
