While  Europe   was    the  centre stage  of   revolutions since  the  end  of  the 18th century,  the non-European world, too,  was   drawn into revolutions  around  the same period and up to the years of the early 21st century.

How   do  we  understand  these revolutionary  passions,  born  outside  the  continent  of  Europe?  How far  have  they  been  conditioned  by  the  European  matrices they  refer  to? Have they, in turn, given birth  to  exportable  models ?

Across three  continents: Latin  America, the Middle  East and India, three  authors interrogate the  phenomenon  of  revolution  and hold a dialogue  with  the major   work of  François  Furet entitled, The  Passing  of  an  Illusion. The latter is a  retrospective  of  the  ‘communist  idea’, that was published  in  1995, shortly after  the  fall  of  the Berlin Wall in 1990.

Furet’s ideas of the links between revolution and democracy, revolution and totalitarianism, revolution and egalitarianism are explored with reference to the revolutions in Cuba (1959), Nicaragua (1979), the revolutions of the Middle East, specifically the Iranian revolution (1989), and the revolutionary movement in India prior to Independence.

Hamit Bozarslan, Gilles Bataillon and Christophe Jaffrelot explore the nuances within revolutionary contexts like the ‘bureaucratization’ of Revolution in Latin America, the growing religious fundamentalism of Khomeni’s Iran and the ‘revolutionary terrorism’ of heroes like Bhagat Singh.

The book will be of interest to political scientists and historians and students of international affairs and other general readers.
