Recenzii

"As illuminating as each of the first five editions and alive to the times we are living through, James DeFronzo’s continuously evolving presentation of what revolutions are and why they matter invites us once again to think about what it might mean to change the world, together."
John Foran, Global climate justice activist and Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
"DeFronzo’s book has gained a well-deserved reputation as a classic on revolutions and revolutionary movements, and this new edition only reinforces that standing. Its compelling interpretive framework makes it an essential work on the subject."
Marc Becker, Professor of Latin American History, Truman State University, USA
"Defronzo’s book provides very well-written and well-informed overviews of major revolutionary movements in the 20th century—including the Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cuban, Nicaraguan and Iranian revolutions—and helps the reader understand the circumstances that led to their success. The updated edition includes updated analysis of left-wing revolutionary movements in Venezuela and Bolivia in the 21st century and the Arab Spring, along with updated student resources such as maps and analysis of U.S. foreign policy toward revolutionary movements and governments in the Trump era. The book is highly recommended for undergraduate and graduate students and any reader seeking to better understand modern world history and the world today."
Jeremy Kuzmarov, managing editor of CovertAction Magazine and Professor of History at Tulsa Community College, USA, author of four books on US foreign policy
"DeFronzo’s smart and accessible text remains the premier one-stop shop for those interested in the major revolutions and revolutionary movements of the last hundred years. This essential guide and compelling companion is an excellent entry point into this fascinating field."
Eric Selbin, Lucy King Brown Chair, Southwestern University, USA
"As a college instructor who has long focused on the phenomenon of revolution, I heartily welcome the newly-published sixth edition of James DeFronzo’s exemplary Revolutions and Revolutionary Movements. The eleven revolutions analyzed in this new volume illuminate the expanding impact of contemporary revolution on globalization. Each revolution is analyzed according to a 'five-factor analytical framework' and is enhanced by helpful chronologies, maps, and bibliographies. I enthusiastically commend this new volume to your careful consideration."
Richard Bohr, Emeritus Professor of History and Emeritus Director of Asian Studies, College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University, USA
"DeFronzo’s latest edition remains the preeminent text for undergraduate courses on global revolution. The updated sixth edition comparatively examines the origin, evolution, and outcome of the most significant revolutions that occurred over the last century in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Its introductory theoretical chapter explores the underlying forces that drive revolution, while the summary, analysis, chronology of major events, references, and list of documentaries culminating each chapter facilitate teaching and student research."
John J. Dwyer, Department of History, Duquesne University, USA
"James DeFronzo's Revolutions and Revolutionary Movements is an indispensable text for studying 20th- and 21st-century revolutions. This well-written volume will be useful to policy analysts, journalists, scholars, and students."
Mark N. Katz, George Mason University, USA
