A distinguished group of contributors shows that the political culture of the Revolution emerged out of a long history of global commerce, imperial competition, and the movement of people and ideas in places as far flung as India, Egypt, Guiana, and the Caribbean. This international approach helps to explain how the Revolution fused immense idealism with territorial ambition and combined the drive for human rights with various forms of exclusion. The essays examine topics including the role of smuggling and free trade in the origins of the French Revolution, the entwined nature of feminism and abolitionism, and the influence of the French revolutionary wars on the shape of American empire. 0aGlobalizationxPolitical aspectszFrancexHistoryy18th centuryvCongresses.9106 0aFrancexHistoryyRevolution, 1789-1799vCongresses.9107 0aFrancexForeign relationsy1789-1815vCongresses.91081 aRoth, Philip Milton, d1933-201891091 aOppenheimer, Andres, d1951-91101 aNelson, William Max,d1976-915056423Book review (H-Net)uhttp://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=39141  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  cBK2lcc  idpf  001040708CGaBJBbBJBcRGd2018-08-27l0oDC157 .F74 2013p00000126386r2018-08-27 00:00:00t1w2018-08-27ybk
