| Zusammenfassung: | This magisterial work is a comparative history of three important revolutions in the Americas: the American Revolution in 1776, the 1791 slave revolt in the French colony that became Haiti, and the prolonged Spanish-American struggle for independence that ended a half century later. Lester Langley describes the movements and events that led to these wars of independence, explaining why revolution took one form in one place and a different form in another Langley examines the political and social tensions reverberating throughout British, French, and Spanish America, pointing out the characteristics that distinguished each unpheaval from the others: the impact of place or location on the course of revolution; the dynamics of race and color as well as class; the relation between leaders and followers; the strength of counterrevolutionary movements; and, especially, the way that militarization of society during war affected the new governments in the postrevolutionary era. Langley argues that an understanding of the legacy of the revolutionary age sheds tremendous light on the political condition of the Americas today: virtually every modern political issue - the relationship of the state to the individual, the effectiveness of government, the liberal promise for progress, and the persistence of color as a critical dynamic in social policy - was central to the earlier period |

Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier This magisterial work is a comparative history of three important revolutions in the Americas: the American Revolution in 1776, the 1791 slave revolt in the French colony that became Haiti, and the prolonged Spanish-American struggle for independence that ended a half century later. Lester Langley describes the movements and events that led to these wars of independence, explaining why revolution took one form in one place and a different form in another Langley examines the political and social tensions reverberating throughout British, French, and Spanish America, pointing out the characteristics that distinguished each unpheaval from the others: the impact of place or location on the course of revolution; the dynamics of race and color as well as class; the relation between leaders and followers; the strength of counterrevolutionary movements; and, especially, the way that militarization of society during war affected the new governments in the postrevolutionary era. Langley argues that an understanding of the legacy of the revolutionary age sheds tremendous light on the political condition of the Americas today: virtually every modern political issue - the relationship of the state to the individual, the effectiveness of government, the liberal promise for progress, and the persistence of color as a critical dynamic in social policy - was central to the earlier period Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1791 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1750-1850 gnd rswk-swf Revoluties gtt Révolutions - Amérique - Histoire - 18e siècle Révolutions - Amérique - Histoire - 19e siècle Geschichte Revolutions America History 18th century Revolutions America History 19th century Unabhängigkeitsbewegung (DE-588)4121814-0 gnd rswk-swf Nordamerikanischer Unabhängigkeitskrieg (DE-588)4131739-7 gnd rswk-swf Amerikanische Revolution (DE-588)4187276-9 gnd rswk-swf Haitianische Revolution (DE-588)4779423-9 gnd rswk-swf Französische Revolution (DE-588)4018183-2 gnd rswk-swf Amérique latine - Histoire - 1806-1830 (Guerres d'indépendance) Haïti - Histoire - 1791-1804 (Révolution) États-Unis - Histoire - 1775-1783 (Révolution) Amerika Lateinamerika USA United States History Revolution, 1775-1783 Haiti History Revolution, 1791-1804 Latin America History Wars of Independence, 1806-1830 Haiti (DE-588)4022974-9 gnd rswk-swf Lateinamerika (DE-588)4074032-8 gnd rswk-swf Haiti (DE-588)4022974-9 g Französische Revolution (DE-588)4018183-2 s DE-604 Amerikanische Revolution (DE-588)4187276-9 s Nordamerikanischer Unabhängigkeitskrieg (DE-588)4131739-7 s Lateinamerika (DE-588)4074032-8 g Unabhängigkeitsbewegung (DE-588)4121814-0 s Geschichte 1750-1850 z 1\p DE-604 Haitianische Revolution (DE-588)4779423-9 s Geschichte 1791 z 2\p DE-604 http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0a6z3-aa Book review (H-Net) http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0a9f0-aa Book review (H-Net) 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
