Zinn has received the Lannan Foundation Literary Award for Non Fiction and the Eugene V
Debbs award for writing and political activism. His plays Emma and Marx in Soho have
been performed internationally.
Zinn's drama Emma is based on the life of American Anarchist Emma Goldman. Passionate,
audacious, and notorious Emma was a popularizer of the arts, a defender of civil
