About this Item

A bright, clean, tight copy sans flecks, tears, stains, and discoloration. "Only the author of the widely praised books 'The Crowd in the French Revolution' and 'The Crowd in History' would dare undertake a short book that not only discusses most of the important rebellions and revolutions in Europe, Latin America, and the United States from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century, but does so while expounding a radically new theory about the role of ideology in these uprisings." 176 pages.

About this title

Synopsis

Rude, George, Ideology And Popular Protest

From the Back Cover

In this Pathbreaking Work Originally Published in 1980, George Rude Examines the Role Played by Ideology in a Wide Range of Popular Rebellions in Europe and the Americas from the Middle Ages to the Early Twentieth Century. Rude was a Champion of the Role of Working People in the Making of History, and Ideology and Popular Protest was the First Book Devoted to the Comparative Study of Popular Political Ideas and Consciousness in Both Preindustrial Cultures and the Age of the Industrial Revolution. According to Rude, the Development of Modern Revolutionary Struggles Depended on a Crucial Merger of the Culture and Ideas of the Common People with the Radical Ideologies of Intellectuals. In a New Foreword, Harvey Kaye Reviews Rude's Career as a Pioneer in the Critical Study of Social Movements and Highlights the Enduring Value of Ideology and Popular Protest as a Classroom Text.
