Revolutions: In Their Own Words -- What They Really Say About Their Causes
מאת: David S. Levine | 277 עמודים
The continuing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, make this book relevant today. History is usually written by the victors and academics. History is usually taught by the era (i.e., the rise and fall of the Roman Empire) or the event (i.e., World War 1). History is rarely taught by comparison of commonality (i.e., the Black Plague vs. the Spanish Flu). This book explores the context, messages, and results of selected revolutions, starting with the American Revolution up to today. When learning or reading about history, especially topics like conflicts, wars and revolutions, there is often a focus on numbers – dates, soldiers and/or civilians killed, battles fought, and some context on the historical era. Wouldn’t it be better to hear it in their own words? Slogans and the like, describe and reflect the populist expression of relevant ideals, beliefs, and morals of those fomenting a revolution for a particular cause. Therefore, this book intends to present a short, introductory background to the revolution being discussed, a collection of songs and slogans, and some comments and analysis to get you started in coming to your own conclusions about each revolution. This book is different from others. It provides the reader with a rare opportunity to conveniently compare the history and lyrics between different revolutions, in their own words to better decide what they really mean and reveal a more relevant picture and understanding of past and current revolutions.
