Art in an Age of Counterrevolution (1815-1848) (A Social History of Modern Art)

1 review
Albert Boime

University Of Chicago Press, 2004

waiting forever
Over three years ago I ordered Dr. Boime's third volume of the art series. The shipping date kept being delayed and after 2 years I cancelled the order. I then reordered the paperback book and today was told that it was no longer available. Has the manuscript been finished, the book published or all copies sold out? Howard McPherson, Moab

The Counterrevolution of Slavery: Politics and Ideology in Antebellum South Carolina

1 review
Manisha Sinha

The University of North Carolina Press, 2000

An important contribution
The historiography of secession is a complex one. For much of the last century there had been a tendency for historians to underplay the importance of slavery as a cause of the American civil war. Certaintly neo-Confederate apologists have sought to euphemize the cause of the conflict to an issue over tariffs, to matters of states rights, or to the "extremism" of the abolitionists. It is quite ...

The Real Contra War: Highlander Peasant Resistance in Nicaragua

Timothy C. Brown

University of Oklahoma Press, 2001

Research vs. Propaganda
In Nicaragua, as in the United States, there are still holdout areas of Marxists, still waiting for the Great Revolution to show the world that communism should be the way. In Nicaragua, it is in Leon where there are still murals of Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas on many buildings. In the US, it's places like Seattle and college faculties. But for those who don't find it "reactionary" to hold ...

Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Spain

5 reviews
Felix Morrow

Pathfinder Press (NY), 1974

The dead end of social democracy and stalinism
Socialist correspondent Felix Morrow writes a powerful account of the revolutionary uprising of Spain's workers and farmers in the 1930's and the heroic battles they waged to defend the rights and organisations won through struggle. The counter revolution began in Spanish Morocco under the command of fascist General Franco, aided and abetted by Hitler and Mussolini while the liberal democracies ...

The Mexican Revolution, Volume 2: Counter-revolution and Reconstruction
Alan Knight

University of Nebraska Press, 1990

Volume 2 of The Mexican Revolution begins with the army counter-revolution of 1913, which ended Francisco Madero's liberal experiment and installed Victoriano Huerta's military rule. After the overthrow of the brutal Huerta, Venustiano Carranza came to the forefront, but his provisional government was opposed by Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, who come powefully to life in Alan Knight's book. Knight offers a fresh interpretation of the great ...

Brought to Light: Shadowplay : The Secret Team/Flashpoint : The LA Penca Bombing (Two Books in One)

4 reviews
Alan Moore, Bill Sienkiewicz, ...

Eclipse Books, 1989

Great Book, but May Not Contain All The Facts
Read Susie Morgan's book "In Search of The Assassin" in conjunction with this book. Susie was a survivor of La Penca and has doubts about the conclusions that this book comes to. Nobody wanted to talk about the bombing, and it is known that people lied to interviewers to cover up the facts. Read with a pinch a salt.

From George Wallace to Newt Gingrich: Race in the Conservative Counterrevolution, 1963-1994

4 reviews
Dan T. Carter

Louisiana State University Press, 1999

racial origins of the New Right--eloquent and persuasive
In four clear, well-written essays, Carter shows how the conservative counter-revolution had its origins in white revulsion against the gains of the civil rights movement. From Montgomery to Milwaukee, whites found the prospect of racial equality frightening and unacceptable. In response to this--and, Carter acknowledges, other issues--a political realignment emerged. No one was more ...

F A HAYEK

Liberty Fund Inc., 1980

Understanding the Limits of Reason
The Counter Revolution of Science was one in a series of books by Hayek to explore the abuse of reason in the twentieth century. Hayek started his career writing technical economics. Books like Prices and Production and Collectivist Economic Planning were meant to settle issues among economists. Hayek's efforts were initially met with success. Hayek swayed professional opinion on business ...

1 review
Alan Filreis

The University of North Carolina Press, 2008

Please don't make it new
Counter-revolution of the Word explores in great depth the antimodernist literary movement of the mid 20th century. Alan Filreis, author of Modernism from Right to Left: Wallace Stevens, the Thirties, & Literary Radicalism, here investigates the question: Why did American conservatives react so strongly against modernism? In preparing for this book Filreis dug deeply into archives across the ...

In Search of Another Country: Mississippi and the Conservative Counterrevolution (Politics and Society in ...

Joseph Crespino

Princeton University Press, 2007

Important contribution to history of race and politics
Joe Crespino's _In Search of Another Country: Mississippi and the Conservative Counterrevolution_ is concerned with understanding two phenomena--white southern resistance to the civil rights movement (as manifested in the state of Mississippi) and the resurgence of conservatism in the last two decades of the twentieth century--and the ways the two phenomena are linked. Existing scholarship has ...

Counterrevolution in China: Wang Sheng and the Kuomintang
Thomas A. Marks

Routledge, 1998

Spanning 60 years of modern Chinese history from the non-communist perspective, this work concentrates on Wan Sheng's career in relation to Chiang Kai-Shek's son Chiang Ching-Kuo. It shows that the Kuomintang were perfecting the methods that were to make Taiwan an East Asian "tiger economy" at the very point that they "lost" the mainland. It also provides an insight into Taiwan's efforts to aid South Vietnam and Cambodia from 1960 as the ...

Counterrevolution and Revolt

1 review
Herbert Marcuse

Beacon Press, 1989

An addendum written in the midst of decline
Marcuse's short work Counterrevolution and Revolt, written in 1972, has four sections: "The Left Under the Counterrevolution," "Nature and Revolution," "Art and Revolution" and "Conclusion." One must imagine the political situation to which Marcuse addresses the work: the New Left, whose advances and promises were so recently great, has suffered a quick decline for two key reasons. The first was ...

France, 1789-1815: Revolution and Counterrevolution
Donald M.G. Sutherland

Oxford University Press, USA, 1986

Challenging classical histories of the French Revolution, this revisionist work argues that any history and analysis of the period must give as much weight to counterrevolution as to revolution itself. Sutherland demonstrates that the effects of the Revolution varied greatly according to regional economies, social structures, and religious affiliations. For example, while many groups--particularly urban groups--benefited from the revolutionary ...

A New Criminal Type in Jakarta: Counter-Revolution Today

2 reviews
James Siegel

Duke University Press, 1998

Original, provocative, complex
In my opinion one of the most original, provocative and successful works of anthropology to be written in the past few decades. Siegel's extremely subtle and complex lines of argumentation may be difficult to follow, however, for those unfamiliar with his interlocutors due to his avoidance (critique) of Anglo-US academic norms of citation. So familiarity with the writings and key concepts of ...

Peasants In Arms: War & Peace in the Mountains of Nicaragua, 1979-1994 (Ohio RIS Latin America Series)

1 review
Lynn Horton

Ohio University Press, 1999

You Fill in the Missing Pages
The book is an overall excellent study of the contradictions of Nicaraguan peasant life (no pun intended) and how they did not guarantee automatic acceptance by the rural poor for Sandinista redistributive programs. The title of this review comes from the missing pages in the middle of the text, specifically pages 131-162. I don't know if this is just the fault of the copy I purchased, or is ...

The Einstein Myth and the Ives Papers: A Counter-Revolution in Physics

Hope Publishing House, 2005

This is a reprint of the 1980 edition originally published by Devin-Adair Publishers of Old Greenwich, CT. Turner and Hazelett have compiled the papers on the Ives' response to Einstein's theories. It is a monumental scientific work that shatters relativity theory and replaces it with a new, readily understood theory that is in conformity with all known phenomena. It restores logical clarity, common sense and realism to the study of space and ...
