In this review of the first chapter of Howard Zinn’s 1980 book, A People’s History of the United States, I have some things to say about the impact of Columbus in the Caribbean. And about Zinn’s comments on the ways historians choose which elements of the “territory” to include on their “maps”.

MakingHistory
Making History is the top-level thing I do, as a historian, teacher, and writer. I create content, based on either original primary research or to present the findings of other historians to my students. This channel will cover several topics I am researching or teaching, and reflections on the ways that history helps us understand our current world.
