A bold new account of the Age of Revolution, one of the most
complex and vast transformations in human history  “A
fresh and illuminating framework for understanding our past and
imagining our future. Powerfully argued and engagingly written,
Patrick Griffin’s timely account of revolutionary regime change
and reaction shows how a world of empires became our world of
nation-states.”—Peter S. Onuf, coauthor of Most Blessed of the
Patriarchs  “When we speak of an age of revolution, what
do we mean? In this synoptic, compelling book, Patrick Griffin asks
the difficult questions and invites readers to reconsider the
answers.”—Eliga Gould, author of Among the Powers of the Earth
 The Age of Atlantic Revolution was a defining moment in
western history. Our understanding of rights, of what makes the
individual an individual, of how to define a citizen versus a
subject, of what states should or should not do, of how labor,
politics, and trade would be organized, of the relationship between
the church and the state, and of our attachment to the nation all
derive from this period (c. 1750–1850).  Historian Patrick
Griffin shows that the Age of Atlantic Revolution was rooted in how
people in an interconnected world struggled through violence,
liberation, and war to reimagine themselves and sovereignty. Tying
together the revolutions, crises, and conflicts that undid British
North America, transformed France, created Haiti, overturned Latin
America, challenged Britain and Europe, vexed Ireland, and
marginalized West Africa, Griffin tells a transnational tale of how
empires became nations and how our world came into being.
