Decades of social science research have brought us little closer to understanding where, when and amongst whom they occur. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this groundbreaking book, Eric Selbin argues that we need to look beyond the economic, political and social structural conditions to the thoughts and feelings of the people who make revolutions. In particular, he argues, we need to understand the stories people relay and rework of past injustices and struggles as they struggle in the present towards a better future. Ranging from the French Revolution to the Battle for Seattle, via Russia, China, Cuba, Vietnam and Nicaragua, Selbin makes the case that it is myth, memory and mimesis which create, maintain and extend such stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRevolution, Rebellion, Resistance identifies four kinds of enduring revolutionary story - Civilizing and Democratizing, The Social Revolution, Freedom and Liberation and The Lost and Forgotten - which do more than report on events, they catalyse changing the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Selbin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848130163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848130166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Eric Selbin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938969813247,"sku":"9781848130166","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_33e6043a-a6d9-4b3d-9993-dc7c9a0108b0.jpg?v=1681438740","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revolution-rebellion-resistance-professor-eric-selbin-9781848130166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
