 Passions révolutionnaires. Amérique latine, Moyen-Orient, Inde (revolutionary passions: Latin America, the Middle East and India)
Since the end of the 18th century, Europe has been the main stage for revolutionary passions. Yet during the same period up to the events marking the beginning of the 21st century, the non-European world was also resonating with revolutionary expectations and crises. Through a tri-contintental approach focusing on Latin America, the Middle East and India, the three authors examine revolutionary events, in a continuous dialogue with François Furet's masterful book, The Passing of an Illusion: The Idea of Communism in the Twentieth Century.
