| description |
Revolution Beyond the Event brings together leading international anthropologists alongside emerging
scholars to examine revolutionary legacies from the MENA region, Latin America
and the Caribbean. It explores the idea that revolutions have varied afterlives
that complicate the assumptions about
their duration, pace and progression, and argues that a renewed focus on the
temporality of radical politics is essential to our understanding of
revolution. Approaching revolution through its relationship to time, the book
is a critical intervention into attempts to define revolutions as bounded events
that act as sequential transitions from one political system to another. It pursues
an ethnographically driven rethinking of the temporal horizons that are at
stake in revolutionary processes, arguing that linear views of revolution are inextricably
tied to notions of progress and modernity. Through a careful selection of case studies,
the book provides a critical perspective on the lived realities of
revolutionary afterlives, challenging the liberal humanist assumptions implicit
in the ‘modern’ idea of revolution, and reappraising the political agency of
people caught up in revolutionary situations across a variety of ethnographic
contexts.
