Abstract
ABSTRACT:Howard Zinn and his popular book A People’s History of the United States have been left out of conversations regarding the development of public history. Although Zinn did not identify as a public history scholar, his methods and goals offer lessons for public historians today. At the same time, his approach comes with warnings for what public historians should avoid. By considering public history through Zinn’s perspective, we can clarify goals for our public history projects today.
摘要:霍华德·津恩(Howard Zinn)和他的畅销书《美国人民史》(A People's History of the United States)被排除在关于公共历史发展的对话之外。尽管津恩并不认同自己是一位公共历史学者,但他的方法和目标为今天的公共历史学家提供了借鉴。与此同时,他的方法也对公共历史学家应该避免的事情提出了警告。通过从Zinn的角度考虑公共历史,我们可以明确我们今天的公共历史项目的目标。
