This is not the current course catalog

Class Details

This course offers a survey of the revolutions and revolutionaries of 19th century Europe from the French Revolution to the Russian Revolution. The 19th century is intimately linked to us world citizens of today, both in the perils it bequeathed us – most importantly, widespread environmental destruction – and in the promise it offers us – of radical movements which sought to reconfigure the world into a more equitable, just and genuinely democratic place. Communists, anarchists, feminists, abolitionists, anti-imperialists, pacifists, and environmentalists – we will study all these and compare them with activists today in order to critically assess their continuing relevance.
