The Cambridge History of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions: Volume 2, France, Europe, and Haiti Hardback

Part of the The Cambridge History of the Age of the Atlantic Revolutions series

Hardback

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.
