James, and other rebellious spirits from the South--as outcasts and pariahs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd finally, it analyzes the entanglement between revolution and communism that so deeply shaped the history of the twentieth century. This book thus merges ideas and representations by devoting an equal importance to theoretical and iconographic sources, offering for our troubled present a new intellectual history of the revolutionary past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enzo Traverso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839763337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839763335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.50d","brand":"Enzo Traverso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051520323839,"sku":"9781839763335","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75cfd44f-f71a-47c5-a5e6-150f99679de3.jpg?v=1685013589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revolution-enzo-traverso-9781839763335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
