Revolutionary Currents: Nation Building in the Transatlantic World

Revolutionary Currents explores the global crosscurrents and revolutionary ideologies that inspired four great modern revolutions-England’s Glorious Revolution of 1688-89, the American Revolution of 1776, the French Revolution in 1789, and the Mexican Revolution in the early 1800s. Michael A. Morrison and Melinda S. Zook bring together noted historians to look at how each nation reshaped these revolutionary traditions, making them their own, and exported them once again.
