Howard Zinn Book Fair

The Howard Zinn Book Fair is an annual festival of books and radical discussion held in the San Francisco Bay Area. We gather together authors, zinesters, bloggers and publishers for a day of readings, panel discussions and workshops exploring the value of dissident histories towards building a better future. In the spirit of the late historian Howard Zinn we recognize the stories of the ways that everyday people have risen to propose a world beyond empires big and small. The Howard Zinn Book Fair is a non-sectarian left event that welcomes a wide variety of political traditions left traditions. Since our founding in 2014, the Fair has attracted over 2,000 attendees and 120 speakers, and has hosted 60 progressive publishers.
