Revolution is an idea that has been one of the most important
drivers of human activity since its emergence in its modern form in
the 18th century. From the American and French revolutionaries who
upset a monarchical order that had dominated for over a millennium
up to the Arab Spring, this notion continues but has also developed
its meanings. Equated with democracy and legal equality at first
and surprisingly redefined into its modern meaning, revolution has
become a means to create nations, change the social order, and
throw out colonial occupiers, and has been labelled as both
conservative and reactionary. In this concise introduction to the
topic, Jack R. Censer charts the development of these competing
ideas and definitions in four chronological sections. Each section
includes a debate from protagonists who represent various forms of
revolution and counterrevolution, allowing students a firmer grasp
on the particular ideas and individuals of each era. This book
offers a new approach to the topic of revolution for all students
of world history.
