520 |a The "Arab Spring" was heralded and publicly embraced by foreign leaders of many countries that define themselves by their own historic revolutions. The contributors to this volume examine the legitimacy of these comparisons by exploring whether or not all modern revolutions follow a pattern or script. Traditionally, historians have studied revolutions as distinct and separate events. Drawing on close familiarity with many different cultures, languages, and historical transitions, this anthology presents the first cohesive historical approach to the comparative study of revolutions. As scholars seek to make sense of the latest flurry of revolutionary activity, they are hampered by the fact that there is currently no theory with any broad support of how and why revolutions occur or follow recognizable paths. This volume of essays proposes a new approach to the comparative study of revolutions. Its guiding insight is that revolutions are scripted; they create, inherit, enact, and extend recognizable "scripts" that offer frameworks for political action. This volume argues that the American and French Revolutions provided the genesis of the revolutionary "script" that was rewritten by Marx, which was revised by Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution, which was revised again by Mao and the Chinese Communist Revolution. Later revolutions in Cuba and Iran improvised further. This script has once again been on display in the capitals of the Middle East and North Africa, and it will serve as the model for future revolutionary movements. -- from back cover.
