The environment within which humans interact has changed
dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. However, their
expectations stem from the same hopes and dreams people have had
from the beginning of humankind. When Men Revolt and Why encourages
readers to look closer and more deeply into the relationships
between humans and the institutions that have originated to help
them realize their full potential.The contributors not only examine
people, but also the need to change institutions that have outworn
their usefulness. When institutions inhibit rather than facilitate
everyone's desire to live a full life, the result is likely to be
violence. This book offers the ideas of many people who have tried
to dig deeper into basic causes of violence. Included in this
volume are selections by Aristotle, Tocqueville./Marx and Engels,
and Brinton. The ideas they espoused still hold vitality.In his new
introduction, James Davies talks about the circumstances under
which this book was originally published. In Vietnam, a people were
fighting for their autonomy. In the United States, many Americans
were protesting against American involvement in the Vietnam War.
Blacks were marching for their civil rights. Women were fighting
for equality. Time has tempered these conflicts.Davies maintains
that we remain ignorant of the elemental forces that impel people
and nations to resort to violence. We are usually surprised by
their anger and shocked by their violence. Davies asserts that we
need to learn more about how humans respond to change so as to
prepare ourselves for such responses to change. When Men Revolt and
Why is as timely as ever as we deal with uncertainty in various
areas of the world - the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and
Ireland, among others. It is especially pertinent for political
scientists, historians, and sociologists.
