Matt Taibbi gets it right, as usual.
"No matter how interesting a book he or she is able to write, any author who admits to looking out at the world and seeing only “victims and executioners” needs psychological help. Unfortunately, Zinn in this respect turned out to be a pioneer, presaging a generation of comic-book thinkers who understand things in binary terms, forever preoccupied with cramming people in neat categories of oppressors and oppressed."
This. Isn't it baffling how a movement (or is just zeitgeist?) so focused on "diversity" manages to succumb to Manichaeism at the same time.
