商品簡介
Lawson (London School of Economics) seeks to rescue revolution both as a concept and a practice, from the triumphalism of the contemporary world, which has proclaimed it irrelevant in a world where the big issues of the 19th and 20th centuries have been settled. Revolutions need not be class-based, violent, and utopian, he says, and examines three examples of a novel form of revolutionary change. He discusses the movement towards an international sociology, and studying revolutions before focusing on the Czech Republic as a story of memory or forgetting, South Africa as the longest walk, and Chile in terms of pro la razon o la fuerza.
