This edited collection offers a timely and original perspective on the many upheavals and revolutions that broke out across the world during the earlytwentieth century. With previous research tending to confine revolutions within national borders, this book sets out to place them within a broader global sphere of thought and action. The authors explore the time phase between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the Asturian Revolution of 1934, including cases from South Africa, Australia, China, the Middle East and Latin America. Providing insights from leading scholars in the field, this collection highlights the interconnectedness and transnationalism of upheavals and revolutions, offering a new approach which integrates political, social and cultural history.

Reviews / Votes
"Stefan Berger and Klaus Weinhauer's book comprises twelve essays on revolutions, along with a perceptive introduction that explores the historiography of revolutions. The essays go beyond Europe and North America to China, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Africa. . this is an impressive collection. The editors have done well to secure a wide range of essays with shrewd comments on recent writing." (Chris Wrigley, International Review of Social History, Vol. 70 (2), October, 2025)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
