Peasant Uprisings in Seventeenth-Century France, Russia and China, Paperback / softback Book

Peasant Uprisings in Seventeenth-Century France, Russia and China Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Political Protest series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book, first published in 1971, is a close analysis of some of the typical peasant uprisings of the seventeenth century.

The goal of the movements in France and China was a return to an older and more traditional society, rather than a profound transformation of the social structure.

In Russia, however, the peasants attempted to overturn the rigid order of a two-class structure and replace it with a more democratic society.
