Notes

Chapter One
1. As quoted in M. Kimmel, Revolution: A Sociological Interpretation ( Philadelphia: Tem-
ple University Press, 1990), p. 1.
2. J. Dunn, Modern Revolutions, 2d ed. ( Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), p. xvi.
3. Kimmel, Revolution, p. 2. Revolutions, Kimmel suggested, "provide a lens through
which to view the everyday organization of society" (p. 1).
4. Useful overviews include R. Aya, "Theories of Revolution Reconsidered", Theory and
Society, vol. 8, no. 1 ( 1979); J. Goldstone, "Theories of Revolution: The Third Generation",
World Politics, vol. 23, no. 3 ( 1980); J. Foran, "Theories of Revolution Revisited: Toward a
Fourth Generation", Sociological Theory, vol. 11, no. 1 ( 1993); T. Skocpol, "Reflections on
Recent Scholarship About Social Revolutions and How to Study Them", in T. Skocpol, ed.,
Social Revolutions in the Modern World ( New York: Cambridge University Press, 1994); and
T. Wickham-Crowley, "Structural Theories of Revolution", in J. Foran, ed., Theorizing Rev-
olutions ( New York: Routledge, 1997).
5. J. Goldstone, "Introduction", in J. Goldstone, T. R. Gurr, and F. Moshiri, eds., Revolu-
tions of the Late Twentieth Century ( Boulder: Westview, 1991), p. 2.
6. The distinction between the two generations is one of the themes of the recent vol-
ume by Goldstone, Gurr, and Moshiri, Revolutions of the Late Twentieth Century. A. Knight,
"Social Revolution: A Latin American Perspective", Bulletin of Latin American Research, vol.
9, no. 2 ( 1990), recently made a compelling argument that such "rigid and somewhat arbi-
trary" (p. 191) chronological (as well as geographical) distinctions are often misleading
and should be "broken down" (p. 175). He contended that "the concepts of 'bourgeois' and
'socialist' revolutions still offer the best global categories for making sense of . . . revolu-
tionary phenomena" (p. 183).
7. The most important of the studies that pose the question, What makes peasants revo-
lutionary? (to borrow from T. Skocpol review "What Makes Peasants Revolutionary?"
Comparative Politics, vol. 14, no, 3, 1982), are E. Wolf, Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Cen-
tury ( New York: Harper and Row, 1969); J. Migdal, Peasants, Politics, and Revolution: Pres-
sures Toward Political and Social Change in the Third World ( Princeton: Princeton Univer-
sity Press, 1974); J. Paige, Agrarian Revolution: Social Movements and Export Agriculture in
the Underdeveloped World ( New York: Free Press, 1975); and J. Scott, The Moral Economy of
the Peasant ( New Haven: Yale University Press, 1976).
8. Although they are beyond the scope of this book, one might include here the revolu-
tionary processes in Algeria, Vietnam, Cambodia, Angola, Giuinea-Bissau/ Cape Verde,
Mozambique, and Iran.
