In the last twenty years, scholars have rushed to re-examine
revolutionary experiences across the Atlantic, through the
Americas, and, more recently, in imperial and global contexts.
While Revolution has been a perennial favourite topic of national
historians, a new generation of historians has begun to eschew
traditional foundation narratives and embrace the insights of
Atlantic and transnational history to re-examine what is
increasingly called 'the Age of Revolution'. This volume raises
important questions about this new turn, and contributors pay
particular attention to the hidden peoples and forces at work in
this Revolutionary world. From Indian insurgents in Columbia and
the Andes, to the terror exercised on the sailors and soldiers of
imperial armies, and from Dutch radicals to Senegalese chiefs,
these contributions reveal a new social history of the Age of
Revolution that has sometimes been deliberately obscured from view.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Atlantic
Studies.
