The "Arab Spring" was heralded and publicly embraced by foreign
leaders of many countries that define themselves by their own
historic revolutions. The contributors to this volume examine the
legitimacy of these comparisons by exploring whether or not all
modern revolutions follow a pattern or script. Traditionally,
historians have studied revolutions as distinct and separate
events. Drawing on close familiarity with many different cultures,
languages, and historical transitions, this anthology presents the
first cohesive historical approach to the comparative study of
revolutions. This volume argues that the American and French
Revolutions provided the genesis of the revolutionary "script" that
was rewritten by Marx, which was revised by Lenin and the Bolshevik
Revolution, which was revised again by Mao and the Chinese
Communist Revolution. Later revolutions in Cuba and Iran improvised
further. This script is once again on display in the capitals of
the Middle East and North Africa, and it will serve as the model
for future revolutionary movements.
