I’m told A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn is a good one though the bourgeois revolution isn’t the total focus. Haven’t read it though.
I have however, read An Indigenous People’s History of the United States by Dunbar-Ortiz and found it to be very good. Though my North American Indigenous history professor considered her “a bit overly critical at times” lol.

A very strange conclusion to draw especially since in iits final conclusion it bends over backwards to try to find a way the US can somehow “redeem” itself rather than admitting the obvious that future history can only be righted with its destruction. Was this professor white, by any chance? I can imagine how such a work would offend their white fragility.

He was Dutch lmao. I didn’t take his thoughts seriously but I thought y’all would find them funny.
Called it. There is no non-white fragility explanation for having that objection.
I’ve read Zinn and have given away at least 3 copies of the book. I’ll have to grab an Indigenous People’s History. Thank you!
