To learn about the ""Age of Revolutions"" in Europe and the
Americas is to engage with the emergence of the modern world. In
the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, nations were
founded, old empires collapsed, and new ones arose. Struggles for
emancipation-whether from royal authority, colonial rule, slavery,
or patriarchy-inspired both hopes and fears. This book, designed
for university and secondary school teachers, provides up-to-date
content and perspectives, classroom-tested techniques, innovative
ideas, and an exciting variety of pathways to introduce students to
this complex era of history. The volume includes chapters on
sources and methods for stimulating student debate and learning,
including Tom Paine's Common Sense, the Haitian Declaration of
Independence, and other key documents; role-playing games; visual
arts and culture; and music, including opera and popular songs.
Other chapters delve into specific themes, including revolution and
riot, revolutionary terror, enlightenment, gender, slavery,
nationalism, environment and climate, and the roles of politically
excluded groups. Collectively, the contributions ensure a broad
Atlantic scope, discussing the revolutions in Britain's North
American colonies, Haiti, and Latin America, and European
revolutions including France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
