About This Book

A comprehensive account of American history told from the perspectives of marginalized groups, including women, factory workers, African Americans, and Native Americans. It challenges traditional nationalist narratives by focusing on social movements and the impact of exploitation on the common people. The work explores the hidden histories of class struggle and grassroots resistance from the arrival of Columbus to the late 20th century.
