What is Revolution? Olympe de Gouges, Hanna Arendt and C.L.R. James

COLT 1813G S01 [CRN: 25724]

Much has been written about the participation of women and non-white people in revolutionary events in the 18th century. But adding hitherto unrecognized actors to the story of the "major" revolutions is not enough for a new understanding of these events that would also illuminate the present. A thorough revision of the very concept of revolution is called for. The study of three authors writing in different periods and genres -- de Gouges, Arendt and James -- will help us in this task.
