<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book is a study of the three contiguous and overlapping revolutions, Russian (1905), Ottoman (1908), and Iranian (1905-1911), through the lens of Armenian revolutionaries whose movements within and across these frontiers contributed to connecting the struggles as well as illuminating their study. It seeks to explore the interconnectivity of the Russian, Ottoman, and Iranian revolutions in several ways that interweave global and local. First, the study advocates a novel approach to the three revolutions, previously studied in isolation and, to a lesser degree, in comparison, that draws on a "connected histories" approach through an archivally grounded analysis of the circulation of revolutionaries, ideas, and print. The protagonists of this analysis are the roving Armenian revolutionaries and intellectuals who, because of their participation in all three revolutions, their border-crossings within the region and beyond, their adoption and interpretation of and adaptation to such influential and global ideologies as constitutionalism, federalism, and socialism become ideal subjects for a retelling of the complex story of the revolutions--a story of revolutionary linkages, of local and regional actors with global ties to big ideas. The book also aims to view the revolutions not only within their local and regional milieus but to view them as part of the global context. This approach takes into consideration the interplay of "facts on the ground," that is, phenomena particular to the region, with larger historical processes, such as revolutions in communication, transportation, and ideology that had deep and wide-ranging ramifications across the world"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Three of the formative revolutions that shook the early twentieth-century world occurred almost simultaneously in regions bordering each other. Though the Russian, Iranian, and Young Turk Revolutions all exploded between 1904 and 1911, they have never been studied through their linkages until now. <i>Roving Revolutionaries </i>probes the interconnected aspects of these three revolutions through the involvement of the Armenian revolutionaries--minorities in all of these empires--whose movements and participation within and across frontiers tell us a great deal about the global transformations that were taking shape. Exploring the geographical and ideological boundary crossings that occurred, Houri Berberian's archivally grounded analysis of the circulation of revolutionaries, ideas, and print tells the story of peoples and ideologies in upheaval and collaborating with each other, and in so doing it illuminates our understanding of revolutions and movements.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"A refreshingly innovative work. Drawing on untapped and largely unknown resources, it analyzes hitherto overlooked interconnections between three revolutions with erudition and panache."--Houchang Chehabi, author of <i>Distant Relations: Iran and Lebanon in the Last 500 Years</i> <p/> "Houri Berberian's <i>Roving Revolutionaries</i> is as cosmopolitan and wide-ranging as its subject: the Armenian activists who criss-crossed Europe and the Middle East in the early twentieth century. The book barges across borders just as they did, tracking the steamships and railways they rode, the newspapers and weapons they carried, and the impact their networks and ideas had on uprisings in Russia, Iran, and the Ottoman Empire."--Charles Kurzman, author of <i>Democracy Denied, 1905-1915: Intellectuals and the Fate of Democracy</i> <p/> "Groundbreaking and theoretically sophisticated, this is a major contribution to global history and studies of revolution. Shattering the walls of insular history, Berberian puts the roving Armenian revolutionaries in their local, regional, global, and intellectual contexts."--Bedross Der Matossian, author of <i>Shattered Dreams of Revolution: From Liberty to Violence in the Late Ottoman Empire</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A successful hit and highly recommended."-- "Connections"<br><br>"<i>Roving Revolutionaries</i> is a work of discovery and recovery solidly based on prodigious research and reading. Berberian whets one's appetite for even more: a deeper exploration of the complexities of the revolutionary milieus in which these itinerant radicals found themselves; a more critical stance toward her actors; and a hard look at how their circuits, ideas, and activities contributed to the sad, tragic fates that both they personally and the people they hoped to save suffered."-- "Journal of Modern History"<br><br>"A magisterial study."-- "Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Houri Berberian</b> is Professor of History, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies, and Director of the Armenian Studies Program at UC Irvine.
