| Course Description |
|
How do people overthrow their rulers? How do they establish new governments? Do radical upheavals require bloodshed, violence, or even terror? How have revolutionaries attempted to establish their ideals and realize their goals?
21H.001, a HASS-D, CI course, explores fundamental questions about the causes and nature of revolutions. We will look at a set of major political transformations throughout the world and across centuries to understand the meaning of revolution and evaluate its impact. By the end of the course, students will be able to offer reasons why some revolutions succeed and others fail. Materials for the course include the writings of revolutionaries, declarations and constitutions, music, films, art, novels, memoirs, and newspapers. For more information, please see the course syllabus. |
