More about the book

Focusing on the overlooked themes of popular sovereignty and emancipation, this book challenges the conventional historiography of the French Revolution. It critiques how the Revolution has been misrepresented by liberals as a precursor to totalitarianism and dismissed by postcolonial studies as ethnocentric. By re-evaluating these perspectives, the author seeks to uncover the Revolution's potential as a political resource, prompting a deeper understanding of its significance and implications.
