The Connectedness Columbus Issue
between Howard Zinn
Introduction:
To
speak about the power of speaking which existed created by Howard Zinn “Speaking Truth to Power with Books1”
is where included talked a ability to dimension ourselves so that think more
critical with the expalain a goodness that well. A discoverer is essentially a positive thinking and accurate.
History is what has happened: the past events a period time or in the life or
development of a people, an institution, or a place. The problem about truthfulness is sentral thema of philosophy.
As general person who feel that knowledge purpose to achieve truthfulness. The
problematic is issue of regarding to someone. Many facts from intentional
history in hidden from knowledge of citizen extensive may be because existence
of badness or wickedness to do
by master at the pass or can so to hidden conspiracy wicked to importance politic
and economy certain group because there is happen indeed not noted weith good.
Moreover, exist so the facts assumed any long of history and can add our
knowledge.
Summary
In summary, from article “Speaking Truth to Power with Books1”
created by Howard Zinn. He started by introducting the most crucial issue
of all with regard to writing. It is connected with Chirstoper Columbus. He has
explained about his experiences since childhood until him as professor. The
contain from this article, Howard Zinn said something about the first is alluded of Chirstoper Columbus as murderer, a
turtoter, a kidnapper, a mutilator of native people, a hypocrite, a greedy
manlooking for gold, willing to kill people and mutilate people-it was shocking.
Moreover, Howard zinn explained about black people have been kept down. Since
childhood, he always read books until he said “This book changed my life”.
Second,
Howard Zinn’s purpose of writing this book is to have the reader understand,
history throught the eyes of the slaves the Native American’s the lower class
people.Of our nation’s past and potential future. Howard Zinn proposes to tell
history from the poin of view of history’s “vicitims”. Third, He proposes to
tell it without “reproach, blame, or condemming” anyone involved in the history
events. He proposes for the reader to be open-minded about other perspectives
relating to the history of people of all walks of life.
Fourth, Howard Zinn states that the atrocities
commited though out history and time was a price that had to be paid in order
for advancement and improvement to evolve throughout the world. Howard Zinn’s
major theme is to encourage the reader to be flexible and be open –minded. He
will approach his offering the “victims” poin of view. One topic in history that he used as examples
was Christoper Columbus. He addressed how history has depicted Chirstoper
Columbus as a hero when in Howard Zinn said actions led to the genocide of
population. And than Howard Zinn tell history about the discovery of America
through the eyes of the Arawaks, the capature slaves. He states that Historian distortion
is ideological. However; he does argue that historian alter history for various
reason, whether for econmic, sexist, racial, or political purpose. Howard Zinn
argues that history should be told omittiming facts, with stating all the facts
regardless of how unpleasant. He argues that Historian omit the massacres and
the atrocities in history for fear that reader would turn against them.
Finally, Howard Zinn that is an enormously important
thing to accomplish, to have people feel that are not alone and it does
something for you too. I realized that after read this article that the history
can get the back of the facts. And Howard Zinn said the the books can have a
powerful effect. To perceived about said by Howard Zinn the books can have a
powerfull effect so, what the majority can change perspective all of book. I
think it’s Impossible because the person who can create by book is the realized
from reference. So what is the powerfull effect whereas not all books can
change prespektive by people.
Main Body (Critique)
For this reason, my perspective about article “Speaking
Truth to Power with Books1” created by Howard Zinn. He is as
Professor. Many opinion people and some article said that Howard Zinn is
someone who brave person to oncover size dark history of new America continent
and commitment to rice subaltern with definition of Spivak.
I responed, the first is about
problem discover America Continent is Christoper Columbus. In article created
by Howard Zinn to criticize about
Chirstoper Columbus isn’t discoverer America Continent but Howard Zinn only
mantion that chirstoper isn’t discoverer America Continent but nothing to
mantion who is discoverer America Continent. My reason is Howard Zinn is
Chirstian although the discoverer is Muslim People because before Chirtian
Columbus landed in America obviously has Muslim People from China named Ceng Ho
(Zheng He) has landed in America moreover, before Ceng Ho coming, many Muslim
sailor from Spanyol and West Afrika has made hamlet in America and to
assimilate manner peaceful with local citizen, Indian people over there. So
with that become part of local-genius America. I think that reason from Howard
Zinn not mention who is the discoverer of America Continent and may be it is
the think that Howard Zinn didn’t want famous Muslim People. Other reason to stronger
is there literature to went from fact empiric that Muslim has life in America
some era before the Columbus coming. One of the most popular is essay Dr.
Youssef Mroueh from Preparatory Commite
for International Festifals to celebrate the millennium of the Muslim arrival
to the Americas at 1996 year the title “Precolumbian Muslims In America”. In
essays, Doctor Mroueh wrote some facts showed that Muslimin from Spanyol and
West Africa arrived brfore Columbus at middle tenth epoch at the time Khalifah Umayah.
Second is Howard Zinn just said that Christoper
Columbus as murderer, a torturer, a kidnapper, a mutilator of
native people, a hypocrite, a greedy man looking for gold, willing to kill
people and mutilate people-it it all mention is just badness although
Chirstoper Columbus has kiddness.
Third.
The others critic from Howard Zinn about who is the discoverer America
Continent. Actually, many else reason about why Howard Zinn not to insert some
references including resource. Should Howard Zinn must give the note where the
write from? But he has only in last past from his book, that all the said tat
is fro his teach experience and from his book which ever he read that book.
Second is n the pdf the little “A
People’s History of the United States” created by Howard Zinn, I inspected
in Pdf from 622 pages are nothing the references about that book from Howard
Zinn. I think that is BIG MISTAKES from Howard Zinn. And if Howard Zinn want to
critic about Christoper Columbus should be clear and explain be completely.
And
the last is why the first paragraph not straight
with other paragraph? It’s should make me less suitable because as I now if use
paragraph rather to protrude is all use it but if the Howard Zinn use not
paragraph that is all must not use it.
Conclusion
In
conclusion, that Howard Zinn to presfective article is religion. Why I said
that? Because in article is not explained about Muslim People but Howard Zinn
just explained comparison between black people and white people also to talk
about Christian Columbus isn’t discoverer America Continent. Howard Zinn only
expressed badness of Chirstoper Columbus and disagree with other book that
discoverer America Continent is Christoper Columbus. Howard Zinn to clarify
that Christoper Columbus as murderer, a
turtoter, a kidnapper, a mutilator of native people, a hypocrite, a greedy
manlooking for gold, willing to kill people and mutilate people-it was
shocking.
