Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry

Zinn, H. (1997). A People's history of the United States. New York: New Press

In this book the history of the United States is seen from the viewpoint of people who were not necessarily beneficiaries of American democracies. The book concentrates on the experiences of slaves, American Indians, women, and other disenfranchised groups and how they were affected by the major events in American history. It also includes excerpts from primary sources that show many of the country's most famous individuals as members of an elite upper class rather than idealized heroes.
