Opis

Europe has been the chief arena of revolutionary passions since the end of the eighteenth century. The non-European world, too, has resonated with coup attempts and revolutionary turmoil. How does one begin to understand these revolutionary passions? To what extent are they influenced by European matrices? Have these revolutions also themselves resulted in ‘exportable models’? In this book, three French writers look at three continents—Latin America, the Middle East and India and interrogate the revolution.
