Rethinking Revolutions from 1905 to 1934 Democracy, Social Justice and National Liberation around the World

“Stefan Berger and Klaus Weinhauer’s book comprises twelve essays on revolutions, along with a perceptive introduction that explores the historiography of revolutions. The essays go beyond Europe and North America to China, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Africa. … this is an impressive collection. The editors have done well to secure a wide range of essays with shrewd comments on recent writing.” (Chris Wrigley, International Review of Social History, Vol. 70 (2), October, 2025)
