Overview Reading | Bigelow, B. (2008) Introduction: A People’s History, A People’s Pedagogy, pp. 1-20. A People’s History for the Classroom. Milwaukee, WI: Rethinking Schools.
What is History?What is Pedagogy?
“Zinn’s people’s history is passionate, probing, and partisan. Zinn begins from the premise that the lives of ordinary people matter -that history ought to focus on those who too often receive only token attention (workers, women, people of color), and also on how people’s actions, individually and collectively, shaped our society. And it’s a people’s history in that it’s a perspective on the past that is usable today, that can instruct and inspire and caution as we try to make the world a better place.”
