	Howard Zinn: The Use and Abuse of History
	May 1 @ 6.30PM
	Center Church on the Green, NH CT.

	(full event details at www.labyrinthbooks.com
<http://www.labyrinthbooks.com> )

	Labyrinth Books invites you to come hear Howard Zinn speak on
The Use and Abuse of History as we celebrate the publication of his
Young People's History of the United States. This talk is intended for a
general audience, but we encourage students in grades seven and up also
to attend what we hope will be and inter-generational evening where town
and gown can meet up. A book-signing will follow the talk.

	It is only right that the history of a nation that was built by
slaves, immigrants, workers, and women-and wrested from Native
Americans-be told from the point of view of these primary sources.
Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States has sold one and a
half million copies and inaugurated a new kind of history book. Now just
out is the long-awaited, two-volume, young-adult version of the history
book that influenced a generation.
	A shipyard worker and Air Force bombardier before he became a
historian, Howard Zinn is an American historian, social critic,
playwright, and the author of a long list of books, including his epic
masterpiece, A People's History of the United States, Voices of a
People's History of the United States and Terrorism and War, (both
written with Anthony Arnove), and The Zinn Reader. Also by Zinn, among
many others: Vietnam: The Logic of Withdrawal, You Can't Be Neutral on a
Moving Train, and Passionate Declarations: Essays on War and Justice.
Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Boston University, Howard
Zinn is the recipient of the Upton Sinclair Award, the Thomas Merton
Award, the Eugene Debs Award, and the Lannan Literary Prize. His plays
include Emma and Marx in Soho. He lives in Auburndale, Massachusetts,
together with his wife, the artist Roslyn Zinn.

	This event is co-sponsored by The Jamestown Project and the May
Day Celebration Committee
