Howard #Zinn on #CivilDisobedience :peace:

@JaneRLaForge I have not reviewed the course material. I was concerned with *have read the #news that there is critical race theory in #AdvancedPlacement African American class*

I am skeptical when CRT is sited by opponents. It is a phrase that is used as a catch all for *woke* and anything not supporting the narrative of the nationalistic view of history.

A critical view of history is healthy. Not that I support texts by Howard #Zinn in high school.

Quand la fin est, par définition, incertaine et que les moyens sont, par définition, massivement destructeurs et meutriers, doit-on accepter la possibilité de la #guerre ?

La conférence "Three holy wars" de l'historien américain Howard #Zinn (1922 - 2010) aborde cette question (et y apporte une des réponses possibles) à la lumière des trois guerres "dont on ne peut rien dire de mal [aux USA]".

Peut-être un jour sur le fediverse. Pour l'instant ici (vost): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XUBYI97cUgU

This morning I spotted an Image on a very old plate almost hidden by chocolates. I can identify with it quite easily 😀

«Historiquement, les choses les plus terribles, guerres, génocides, esclavages, ...etc, ne sont pas issues de la #désobéissance mais de l' #obéissance.» Howard #Zinn, historien et politologue américain.

Le Premier #mai a une histoire. Cette #histoire commence le 4 mai 1886 à Chicago. Sur Haymarket Square, lors d’une manif dans la longue lutte pour la journée de huit heures, une bombe explose, des policiers sont tués, huit hommes sont arrêtés et accusés de meurtre.

Extrait du film de Olivier Azam et Daniel Mermet : Howard #Zinn, une histoire populaire américaine (Du pain et des roses)

📚 Aux éditions Agone, deux livres en libre accès au format #epub dont je recommande chaudement la lecture :

"Raison et liberté. Sur la nature humaine, l’éducation et le rôle des intellectuels" de Noam #Chomsky : https://agone.org/bancdessais/raisonetliberte/

"Se révolter si nécessaire. Textes & discours (1962-2010)" de Howard #Zinn : https://agone.org/memoiressociales/serevoltersinecessaire/

Chomsky signe d'ailleurs la préface du recueil de Zinn.
