The great revolutions of the past 300 years have profoundly shaped the social, cultural, political, and military landscape of the 21st century. These epic changes tore down established orders and built new ones in their place. What drives individuals and groups to embrace revolution? At what point does a society decide to revolt? Is there such a thing as a peaceful revolution? Why have some revolutions failed while others changed the world?
Delve into these questions and more in The Great Revolutions of Modern History. Taught by Professor Lynne Ann Hartnett of Villanova University, these 24 eye-opening lessons will give you new insights into the forces that have shaped our political and cultural world. You will travel back in time and around the world to examine some of history’s most momentous and influential political transformations. Starting with the motivations and ramifications of the American Revolution and the French Revolution, covering world-changing movements in China, Mexico, India, Haiti, Africa, Russia, and more, Professor Hartnett surveys the shifting tides that inspired each of these revolutions.
We live in a precarious time in the 21st century, with uprisings constantly in the news. What you will learn in The Great Revolutions of Modern History is that revolutions often follow a similar pattern and arise from a similar source: masses of people dissatisfied with the status quo. Join Professor Hartnett for an exploration of political and cultural change - and see how the modern world was formed.
The fascinating thing about this course is that, no matter how many systems are overthrown or how fraught a particular moment can be, a certain aspect of humanity remains constant. People want freedom, opportunity, justice, and they are willing to fight for these values, even if it costs them their lives. The Great Revolutions of Modern History is a masterful presentation of the human spirit in search of a better way of life.

Wow, no racists. Amazing

You expected something racist from the interwebz about Toussaint Louverture?

We are all Africans. But some are more African than others.

I’ll say something “wascist” just because of the previous comments, the Haitian revolution is probably the least important revolution detailed in the book politically speaking being barely relevant at the time it happened outside of some minor influences on the direction of the internal politics of France during a critical moment, namely that it was rejected by Napoleon and his political allies and the subsequent actions of the Haitians ironically reduced support for abolition during the negotiations following the Napoleonic Wars. Hati also remains completely irrelevant as a state today in contrast to state systems created by the other relations detailed in this book.
Thus I conclude putting a leader of the Haitian revolution on the cover is not warranted due to the previously stated lack of importance of said event and it is a naked attempt at naked politicization, likely on the part of the publisher and/or the author for the sake of social signaling. Basically it doesn’t even “sell” the book to any demographic outside of a specific political faction.
On that note has anybody ever read a book about Fascism or National Socialism that isn’t prefaced and constantly filled with assertions that the assessment of Fascism contained therein is based on an attempt to “prevent Fascism” in the future and instead is just a dry and through recitation of events and assessment of the potential motives of the parties involved beyond their public rhetoric? Despite 80% of the population despising communism at least that political system in its various incarnations gets an actual academic analysis rather than a thinly veiled political screed filled with constantly moral “asides” on the part of the author every time a party does something of which they disapprove. Can I get that, please? I don’t like wading through moral diatribes with obvious biases so extreme I can’t even account for them an adjust their interpretation of events to a more objective assessment, nobody did this to Napoleon even in the 19th century after he was integral in burning down half of Europe.

12345combination, you might appreciate books by Stanley Payne and A. James Gregor. Both objectively describe and categorize the interwar fascist movements and their origins rather than indulging in condemnation. Recommend specifically “Fascism: Comparison and Definition,” “Falange,” and “Mussolini’s Intellectuals.” “Faces of Janus” is good if you’re interested in the socialist heritage of fascism. Zeev Sternhell as well in “Neither Right nor Left” and “The Origin of Fascist Ideology.”
Also more on topic: I listened to the Revolutions podcast some years ago and the Haitian revolution seemed, yes, to be basically a slave revolt with no ideological or world-historical significance.
