The Revolutionary Atlantic: Republican Visions, 1760-1830: A Documentary History

Autor Rafe Blaufarb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 mai 2017
This is a sourcebook on the "revolutionary Atlantic," a term historians increasingly use to describe the way the many revolutions from 1776 (USA) to 1826 (end of the wars of independence in Latin America) can be viewed as part of a connected whole. It is the first text to examine the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, and the various Latin American Revolutions from a synoptic perspective.

Recenzii

Encompassing the major rebellions that transformed the Atlantic world in the Age of Revolutions, The Revolutionary Atlantic is a major achievement. Blaufarb's collection of documents records the voices of elites and masses alike, and is remarkably coherent thanks to its focus on political ideas, not events. Highly recommended for students and scholars."
Fascinating and comprehensive collection of primary sources ont he Age of Revolutions, ranging from Enlightenment political theory to empire and slavery. Blaufarb treats the U.S., French, Haitian and Latin American Revolutions as a common movement. His chronological coverage is truly impressive, spanning from the Seven Years' War to the 1820s. Will be tremendously useful to instructors seeking to connect the different Atlantic Revolutions."
The Revolutionary Atlantic is an essential resource for anyone interested in the political upheavals that culminated in the American, French, Haitian, and Latin American Revolutions of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Through its concise chapter introductions and vast array of documents focused on the period's new political ideas, The Revolutionary Atlantic reveals the connections among notions of republicanism and equality that sprang up around the Atlantic World. It also reveals the host of actors - elite European descended men, indigenous peoples, women, slaves, serfs, and the urban poor - who gave local meaning and form to those ideals through their words and deeds. The Revolutionary Atlantic is a most welcome addition to the literature on the Age of Revolutions."
Rafe Blaufarb's compilation and translation of political documetns from the Age of Revolutions provides an excellent reader for scholars and students who seek to compare the precepts and arguments in favor of democracy, equality and independence that emerged during the French and Haitian revolution with key texts from North American and Napoleonic-era Latin American independence movements."
