This book, as the first volume of a multiple volume endeavor to analyze several revolutions of the “long” nineteenth and “short” twentieth century to show how revolutionary processes evolved, takes a closer look at the Atlantic Revolutions, that is, the American, the French, and the Haitian Revolution. It will therefore use a comparative ten-step model to emphasize similarities with regard to the revolutionary developments in different parts of the world. The book consequently aims at providing a general, but deeper, understanding of revolutions as a global phenomenon of modernity while explaining how revolutionary processes evolve and develop, and how they could and can be corrupted.
“This publication offers a new and global perspective on the relationship between revolution and modernity. Rich in sources and based on a comparative case study between the revolutions in America, France, and Haiti, the book unfolds new findings and approaches for revolutionary studies. This interdisciplinary study will be of interest to historians, political scientists, and sociologists alike.” — Prof. Dr. Jana Günther, Evangelische Hochschule Darmstadt, Germany.
