Rethinking the Age of Revolution

As a new generation of scholars probe the limits of what we know about the Age of Revolution, this collection reveals a new social history of the period that has often been hidden from view. Contributors pay particular attention to the hidden peoples and forces at work in this Revolutionary world, from Indian insurgents in Columbia and the Andes, to the terror exercised on the sailors and soldiers of imperial armies, and from Dutch radicals to Senegalese chiefs. This book was originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.
