  • An Analysis of Jack A. Goldstone’s Revolution and Rebellion in the Early Modern World
    Etienne Stockland
    Understanding why revolutions take place when they do, and as they do, is important in itself. Understanding how they are rooted in the societies they upend - and the ways in which those societies share crucial similarities - is arguably even more so.

  • An Analysis of Joan Wallach Scott’s Gender and the Politics of History

  • An Analysis of Alfred W. Crosby’s The Columbian Exchange
    Etienne Stockland / Joshua Specht
    One criticism of history is that historians all too often study it in isolation, failing to take advantage of models and evidence from scholars in other disciplines. This is not a charge that can be laid at the door of Alfred Crosby. His book The Columbian Exchange not only incorporates the results of wide reading in the hard sciences, anthropology and geography, but also stand...

  • An Analysis of Bernard Bailyn’s The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution
    Etienne Stockland / Joshua Specht
    Historians of the American Revolution had always seen the struggle for independence either as a conflict sparked by heavyweight ideology, or as a war between opposing social groups acting out of self-interest. In The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, Bernard Bailyn begged to differ, re-examining familiar evidence to establish new connections that in turn allowed h...
