Revolutioner, opstand og oprør

A wide-ranging study of empire, religious prophecy, and nationalism in literature, Russia's Rome: Imperial Visions, Messianic Dreams, 1890-1940 provides the first examination of Russia's self-identification with Rome during a period that encompassed the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 and the rise of the Soviet state. Analyzing Rome-related texts by Dmitrii Merezhkovskii, Valerii Briusov, Aleksandr Blok, Viacheslav Ivanov, Mikhail Kuzmin, and Mikhail Bulgakov, Judith Kalb argues that the myth of Russia as the "Third Rome" was resurrected to create an enduring Rome-based discourse of Russian national identity. Russia's Rome fills a gap in both Russian studies and scholarship on the classical tradition, providing valuable material for scholars of Russian culture and history, classicists, and readers interested in the classical heritage.

"A groundbreaking, important recovery of history; the overlooked story-fully explored, of the critical aspect of America's Revolutionary War that was fought in the South showing that the British surrender at Yorktown was the direct result of the southern campaign and, that the battles that emerged south of the Mason-Dixon line between loyalists to the Crown and patriots who fought for independence were, in fact, America's first civil war. The famous battles that form the backbone of the story put forth of American independence-at Lexington and Concord, Brandywine, Germantown, Saratoga, and Monmouth, while crucial, did not lead to the surrender at Yorktown. It was in the three-plus years between Monmouth and Yorktown that the war was won. Alan Pell Crawford's riveting new book, This Fierce People, tells the story of these missing three years, long ignored by historians, and of the fierce battles fought in the south that made up the central theater of military operations in the latter years of the Revolutionary War, upending the essential American myth that the War of Independence was fought primarily in the north. Weaving throughout the stories of the heroic men and women, largely unsung patriots-African Americans and whites, militiamen and 'irregulars,' Patriots and Tories, Americans, Frenchmen, Brits and Hessians, Crawford reveals the misperceptions and contradictions of our accepted understanding of how our nation came to be, as well as the national narrative that America's victory over the British lay solely with General George Washington and his troops"

The international best-selling author explores the revolutions-past and present-that define the chaotic, polarized and unstable age in which we livePopulist rage, ideological fracture, economic and technological shocks, geopolitical dangers and an international system studded with catastrophic risk - the early decades of the 21st century may be one of the most revolutionary periods in modern history. But they are not the first. Humans have lived, and thrived, through more than one great realignment. What makes an age a revolutionary one? And how do they end?In this major new work, Fareed Zakaria masterfully investigates eras that have shattered and shaped humanity. Four such periods hold profound lessons for today. First, in seventeenth-century Netherlands a series of transformations made that tiny land the richest in thew world - and created modern politics as we know it today. The 'Glorious Revolution' in Britain showed that major political change could happen peacefully. Next, the French Revolution, a dramatic decade and a half that devoured its ideological children and left a bloody legacy that haunts us to this day. Finally, the mother of all revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, which catapulted Britain and the U.S. to global dominance and created the modern world. Against these paradigm-shifting historical eras, Zakaria describes our current situation, unpacking the four revolutions we are living through now; in globalization, technology, identity, and geopolitics.As few public intellectuals can, Zakaria combines intellectual range, deep historical insight, and uncanny prescience to reframe and illuminate a turbulent present.

Biography of a major figure in modern Chinese history.

Soucieux de gagner l¿indépendance et l¿autonomie du pays face au monde occidental et à l¿URSS, le leader révolutionnaire Mao Zedong a mené, entre 1949 et 1976, une «Révolution socialiste» continue. Cet ouvrage observe les formes de l¿autoritarisme maoïste en multipliant les angles de vue ¿ arcanes du pouvoir de parti-État, opposition au sein du système, voix réfractaires des petites gens, etc. S¿appuyant sur des sources inédites, l¿auteur offre des plongées sur des personnages de second ou troisième rang peu connus de l¿histoire de la Chine contemporaine, des éclairages sur une ville (Shanghai) plutôt que sur une histoire nationale, ainsi que sur une multitude d¿acteurs ordinaires impliqués dans les divers moments maoïstes. Ce décentrement du regard permet de dépasser le cadre étroit de la hiérarchie bureaucratique et de cerner la présence de diverses réponses individuelles et collectives aux formes centralisatrices et hégémoniques de l¿État maoïste. En dépit d¿un contrôle social mêlé de propagande et de terreur politique, la Chine d¿après 1949 n¿était pas exempte de diversité dans les comportements, ni de particularisme et de localisme : face à une autocratie omnipotente, les individus et les collectivités étaient loin d¿être aussi amorphes qüon l¿a longtemps imaginé. En ce sens, la rupture avec les histoires de la fin de l¿ère Qing et de l¿ère républicaine s¿avère moins accusée et moins définitive.

"In this remarkably assured and sweeping history of the present, Bevins introduces us to the activists, hackers, punks, martyrs, and the millions of ordinary people whose small acts of bravery spurred the mass protests of the last decade. Bevins's clear-eyed, sympathetic account of the unfulfilled promise of these protests leaves his reader with a bold vision of the future-one in which his book's lessons are used to transform an uprising into a true revolution."-MERVE EMRE, critic for the New Yorker"This is a wondrous work of mystery writing, an effort to solve the riddle: Why has a decade of large-scale rolling revolts produced no revolution, no significant structural reform? I can't think of any journalist other than Bevins who would dare to ask such a question, or be capable of weaving together seemingly discrete global events into a stunning history of now."-GREG GRANDIN, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The End of the Myth"Ambitious, diligently researched, and provocative, If We Burn will transform the way you think. Bevins' detailed, comparative reporting offers a riveting look at the contradictions, unexpected consequences, and lessons of mass protests."-ALEXA HAGERTY, author of Still Life with Bones "This book is phenomenal. A thrilling, blow by blow (and often live on-the-ground) analysis of how the various people-led movements and revolutions over the last decade succeeded or failed. Incalculably useful to anyone who'd like to make substantive, enduring changes to their town, country or even the world. I cannot think of a book that so soberly and forensically analysed the very recent past. If We Burn is about as good as journalism gets." -ROB DELANEY, author of A Heart That Works

This volume explores several notable themes related to social, political, and religious movements in Latin America and offers insightful historical perspectives to understand national, regional, and global issues from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. This volume's collected chapters focus on the Latin American society and are divided into three sections. The first section, Social, presents some cultural, demographic, and urban changes that have occurred with increasing frequency in Latin America from the early twentieth century onward. The second section, Political, shows migratory, political, and identity movements that in recent decades have re-emerged with force. Finally, the third section, Religious, analyzes various Latin American religious visions with their particular characteristics. From the religious hegemony of Catholicism, a change in the religious panorama in the last decades can be seen intermingled with politics, history, and society.

Carrier, Jean-Baptiste, était né, le 17 mars 1756, à Yolet , petite bourgade du canton nord d'Aurillac, située à trois lieues de cette ville. Ses parents étaient des cultivateurs aisés. justement estimés dans la région. Il était le troisième enfant d'une famille composée de trois filles et de deux garçons. Son frère, plus jeune que lui de trois ans, devint commissaire des guerres à l'époque de la Révolution.Le jeune Jean-Baptiste manifestait une certaine intelligence. Son grand-oncle entreprit de faire de lui un prêtre, et le plaça, grâce à l'influence de M. de Miramon, au collège ecclésiastique que les jésuites avaient fondé et qu'ils avaient dirigé à Aurillac jusqu'à la dissolution de leur ordre.

How to take a political beating and surviveIn the struggle for a better world, setbacks are inevitable. Defeat can feel overwhelming at times, but it has to be endured. How then do the people on the front line keep going? To answer that question and to help readers roll with the punches, Hannah Proctor draws on historical resources to find out how revolutionaries and activists of the past kept a grip on hope.Burnout considers former Communards exiled to a penal colony in the South Pacific; a young Bolshevik fleeing the city in despair; an ex-militant on the analyst’s couch relating dreams of ruined landscapes; a trade union organizer seeking advice from a spiritual healer; and a group of feminists padding a room with mattresses to scream about the patriarchy. Jettisoning therapy talk and its stranglehold on our language, Proctor offers a different way forward—neither denial nor despair. Her cogent exploration of the ways militants make sense of their own burnout demonstrates that it is possible to mourn and organize at once, and to do both without compromise.[ENDORSEMENTS TK][logo]SUBJECT LINE [INITIAL CAP ONLY]: PoliticsRETAIL PRICES [DOMESTIC MARKET FIRST]: £14.99 / $24.95 / $33.95CANversobooks.comISBN-13: 9781839766053

Forgetting is forbidden. Unpunished, a continent, a "race" wants justice and reparation.It is important to know what actually happened and to record it.It is a deluge that has come over the black people. The most brutal, appalling and shocking crimes were committed against these people, which have not been properly condemned, excused and repaired to this day. So far, these crimes against humanity have gone unpunished, called genocide in other ethnic groups. On the contrary, the perpetrators deal with their crimes arrogantly and almost proudly, that even centuries after the numerous crimes they still make fun of the victims and thereby treat them derogatorily. This is unique in history. The whites who committed such crimes against life and humanity have no sensitivity to the fact that they systematically and according to plan abused, raped, mutilated, tortured and killed hundreds of millions of their (the victims') fathers, mothers, daughters, wives, children, babies, destroyed entire cultures, stole their wealth, soil, agriculture and stole much of the labor force.The historical reappraisal of the slavery and colonial past is very inadequate. Although this western world still owes its boom, development, social prosperity and stability, but also Africans:inside and blacks owe their impoverishment, social destruction, instability and their phenomena to these colonial times. This means that the consequences of slavery and colonialism are still very present today. On one hand, they bring privileges to the colonial masters and their societies that they do not want to lose, and on another hand, they still bring immense disadvantages to the victims and largely explain why they are the way they are and why they still cannot free themselves today. Every white person benefits from the crimes of their ancestors and every:r black person loses because of it."With my book, I want to contribute so that a terrible injustice against the continent of Africa and all the people who come from there is not forgotten and considered like "peanuts"."
