HOWARD ZINN

Now that the three topics of my blog are balanced, I can chose my favourite to write the next post. Now I’m going to tell you about Howard Zinn, another social critic that I really like. 

“Howard Zinn (born August 24, 1922) is an American political scientist, historian, social critic, socialist, activist and professor.

Zinn has been active in the movements for Civil Rights, Civil Liberties and the anti-war movements in the United States. He has written extensively on all three subjects. The author of some 20 books, Zinn is Professor Emeritus in the Political Science Department at Boston University.”

I really like him because, like Noam Chomsky, he writes what most people don’t write and he always questions things we all take for granted.

If we all read truthful writings like Chomsky and Zinn, and don’t conceive them as “radicals”, whatever that means, we all would have a more informed, conscious and better opinion.
