A People’s History of the United States — Crisis in Perception Deep Dive

In this episode of Crisis in Perception, we take a deep dive into A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn.Rather than retelling history through presidents, generals, and political elites, this book reframes American history from the perspective of those most often excluded — Indigenous peoples, enslaved Africans, workers, women, dissidents, and the poor.Key themes explored include:The impact of colonization and Indigenous genocide beginning in 1492Slavery, racial hierarchy, and the economic foundations of American powerClass conflict and labor resistance throughout U.S. historyHow war, expansion, and empire are justified to the publicThe role of government and corporations in suppressing dissentWhy traditional “neutral” history often masks systemic injusticeThis Deep Dive examines how historical narratives shape perception — and how power determines whose stories are told, remembered, or erased.▶ MINI EXPLAINER VERSION👉 https://youtu.be/CRDsHwzdkqUSupport Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://patreon.com/CrisisInPerception
