David Wacks started the topic Rough equivalent of Zinn's 'People's History' for Medieval Iberia? in the discussion
Medieval Hispanic Languages, Literatures, and Cultures on MLA Commons 8 years, 11 months agoWhat would you assign in English to give 100-level gen ed students a broad yet critical (think Howard Zinn’s People’s History) overview of medieval Iberian cultural history?
