International Encyclopedia of Revolution and Protest: 1500 to the Present

A definitive eight-volume reference work covering five centuries of protest and revolution in the modern era of mass movements. The encyclopedia examines major uprisings and protest movements across the world, the ideas and activists behind them, and the ways in which these struggles developed. It traces their roots, aims, tactics, influence, successes and failures, from peasant rebellions and anti-colonial revolts to revolutionary movements, socialism, labour movements and popular resistance. Editor: Immanuel Ness. Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, 2009.
