A stunning, collectible edition of Howard Zinn s landmark memoir that chronicles his lifelong commitment to social justice and steadfast belief that ordinary people can change history

A Beacon Classics edition, featuring spot gloss cover and retro, classic palette

Is change possible? Where will it come from? Can we actually make a difference? How do we remain hopeful?

Howard Zinn activist, historian, and author of A People s History of the United States was a participant in and chronicler of some of the landmark struggles for racial and economic justice in US history. In his memoir, You Can t Be Neutral on a Moving Train, Zinn reflects on more than thirty years of fighting for social change, from his teenage years as a laborer in Brooklyn to teaching at Spelman College, where he emerged in the civil rights movement as a powerful voice for justice. A former bombardier in World War II, he later became an outspoken antiwar activist, spirited protestor, and champion of civil disobedience. Throughout his life, Zinn was unwavering in his belief that small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world. This repackaged edition will inspire a new generation of readers to believe that change is possible.

Rezensionen
"A powerful, politically electric book from one of the most engaging social critics in the nation." Jonathan Kozol

"A history and a history maker to give us hope." Alice Walker

"Zinn explains his involvement in the struggles for civil rights, against war, and in support of organized labor by citing his 'abhorrence of any kind of bullying.' These are lively tales." Patricia O'Connell, The New York Times

"Pick up this book! Start reading it! I guarantee you won't stop. The most influential teacher I've ever had continues to teach us about life and humanity and hope." Marian Wright Edelman

"A teacher who committed his politically engaged life to the belief that love is a command to action. Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post

"A personal favorite. This autobiography by the great activist and historian...provides an eloquent, personal account of the struggles for civil rights and against the Vietnam War, and a universal paean to protest and resistance." Matthew Rothschild, The Progressive
