Present Modern Classic by Zinn - Book Report/Review Example

In both the interview, we see Congressman, a land commission Raul Grijalva being interviewed in the program “I have something to say”. Grijalva agrees with Zinn about the Obama administration of American (Congressman Raul Grijalva…). He declares that there are no boycotts or challenges with the Obama administration and Mexico. He adds that there has been resource help, development help, and immigration help which ensure cohesive existence among the people (Congressman Raul Grijalva…).

On the other hand, especially in the second interview, Grijalva greatly disagrees with Zinn's concern about certain contemporary issues with the Obama administration. As contrary held by Zinn, Grijalva confesses during the interview that he has had greatly disappointed with the Obama administration (Grijalva discusses threats…). He says that the government has not played its role in addressing citizen problems. There has been no job creation, people have been dying at the border as well as the immigration services are poor (Grijalva discusses threats…).

Zinn (59) asserts that in chapters 10 and 11, the disagreements of Grijalva are still confirmed further. Zinn (79) adds that the author describes the abuse of government power by corporations and the effort of workers to resist the abuse. America experienced a rapid industrial revolution with h corporation of banks which transformed the nation into an institution dominant nation. This later initiated corruption both in industry and government (Archibold & Jennifer, 451). There have been movements of individuals to oppose corruption such as the Knights of Labor.
