What We Think

Zinn’s “A People’s History” is a woke masterclass: prioritizing ideology over narrative depth, systematically undermining traditional institutions, and granting dissenting worldviews only a cameo, usually as villains. For those seeking non-woke or balanced treatments, this book will set your skepticism alarm off the charts.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, Zinn's book often subordinates narrative cohesion and balanced storytelling to ideological aims, heavily favoring identity groups over broader historical context. The storytelling prioritizes oppressed perspectives, sometimes at the cost of nuance or complexity in character and event portrayal.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

This book is practically a tour guide for subverting traditional American foundations, challenging religion, family, patriotism, and established morality nearly every step of the way. It consistently paints foundational institutions as aggressors or regressors, offering little credit for their historical roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

If there's a more thorough example of ideological monoculture in mainstream history writing, we haven't seen it. Dissenting or traditional viewpoints are almost always villainized or dismissed, with little space for internal debate or multiple perspectives.
