Howard Zinn's classic account of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), one of the most significant and creative organizations to shape the course of the civil rights movement in the United States

SNCC: The New Abolitionists has influenced generations of readers seeking to learn from the successes and failures of SNCC organizers. Zinn's documentation of the process of social change remains an indispensable resource for activists who are continuing, in the tradition of SNCC, to fight for a more just world.

This edition includes a new foreword by Anthony Arnove, situating Howard Zinn's work and legacy, and an afterword by Barbara Ransby, reflecting on the enduring importance of SNCC.

 

Howard Zinn (1922-2010) was a historian, author, professor, playwright, and activist. His life's work focused on a wide range of issues including race, class, war, and history, and touched the lives of countless people. His writing celebrated the accomplishments of social movements and ordinary people, and challenged readers to question the myths that justify war and inequality. Zinn's influence lives on in millions of people who have read his work and have been inspired by his actions. Zinn's best-known work is A People's History of the United States, which has sold more than 4 million copies.

Anthony Arnove is the editor of several books, including Howard Zinn Speaks, Voices of a People's History of the United States, which he co-edited with Howard Zinn, and Voices of a People's History of the United States in the Twenty-First Century, which he co-edited with Haley Pessin. He also wrote the introduction for the new 35th anniversary edition of Zinn's classic book A People's History of the United States.
