Jacob Frank - Revolution And The Global Struggle For Modernity Volume 1 - The Atlantic Revolutions - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels had realized the power of revolutionary movements within history and considered them an essential step towards the creation of a classless society. Nevertheless the number of failed revolutions is as high as the dreams and hopes usually related to a revolutionary change. As a global phenomenon of modernity the history of revolutions needs to be written comparatively and for this a comparative model is without any doubt a necessary tool. Such a model namely a comparative ten - step model will be provided in this book to be then used to compare revolutionary case studies. Of course the similarities among them are of special interest while the diversity related to regional or national preconditions shall not be neglected. However a comparison promises a better and critical insight into the historical developments of revolutionary processes as such. The present book will therefore analyze the Atlantic Revolutions at the beginning of the long nineteenth century to show how revolutionary processes evolved. It will use the mentioned comparative ten - step model to emphasize similarities with regard to the revolutionary developments in different parts of the world. The book thereby aims at providing a general but deeper understanding of revolutions as a global phenomenon of modernity while explaining how revolutionary processes evolve and develop and how they could and can be corrupted. The revolutionary case studies discussed include the American the French and the Haitian Revolution.
