Book description
Volume II delves into the revolutions of France, Europe, and Haiti, with particular focus on the French Revolution and the changes it wrought. The demarcation between property and power, and the changes in family life, religious practices, and socio-economic relations are explored, as well as the preoccupation with violence and terror, both of which were conspicuous aspects of the revolution. Simultaneous movements in England, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, and Poland-Lithuania are also discussed. The volume ends with the Haitian Revolution and its impact on neighboring countries, revealing how the revolution was comprised of several smaller revolutions, and how, once the independent black State of Haiti was established, an effort was made to fulfill the promises of freedom and equality.
Reviews
‘Klooster has collected seventy-one essays, managing to give an idea of the ongoing debate: solid reconstructions … attempt to bring together historiography and history from different schools and perspectives. One can only appreciate the desire to reconstruct the historiographical debate because it opens the doors to the lives of scholars and their motivations and determinations in electing a theme and a research direction … The necessary nuances and chiaroscuro make the picture more authentic and point to other possible studies.’
