history is a weapon‘ is an ‘online left reader focusing largely on American resistance history…a left counter-hegemonic education project.’ the readings are organized by section: ‘what is america?,’ ‘learning to surrender,’ ‘the long chain,’ ‘voices from the empire,’ ‘looking inward,’ ‘raising our voices,’ ‘against the war machine,’ ‘repression,’ and ‘from resistance to revolution.’

there is also a blog,
a recommended reading list, author list and a poster page

it is a great resource for history teachers, community organizers or folks who want to divorce themselves from dominant discourses. take a look and pass it on. maybe use it as a history book for your class?
