Howard Zinn: The US Is In Need of a Rebellion & Other Interviews


Interviews With "National Treasure" Howard Zinn

I found this to be a powerful interview with Howard Zinn, the author, American historian, social critic and activist, about how the Iraq war damaged attitudes towards the US and why the US "empire" is close to collapse: http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2008/09/09-0

This is also a wonderful video interview with Howard Zinn:

Four other recent radio interviews found on Howard Zinn's website:

"Here and Now" (WBUR Boston)
August 5, 2008
Historian and social activist Howard Zinn is out with a new graphic-style book, A People's History of American Empire. We speak to Zinn about his experiences as a young soldier in World War II and about today's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Howard Zinn is a national treasure whose approach to history should be taught in every school in America. If you don't know his work, be sure to tune in or download the interview later.

As Democratic convention protestors put the finishing touches on their protest plans, debate over the relevance of the protests exists among the left. Pacifica's Verna Avery Brown spoke with historian Howard Zinn and Labor Activist Bill Fletcher about protest tactics on her show What's At Stake. Professor Zinn encourages protest at the Democratic Convention.

And and a forthcoming radio appearance: October 28: Howard Zinn lecturing on "Democracy Coming to the USA?" on David Barsamian's "Alternative Radio"
