The 2nd volume of George Katsiaficas's monumental study of Asian
Revolutions, this provides a unique perspective on uprisings in nine
places in East Asia over the past five decades. While the 2011 Arab
Spring is well known, the wave of uprisings that swept East Asia in the
1980s became hardly visible. Katsiaficas relates Asian uprisings to
predecessors in 1968 and shows their subsequent influence on the wave of
uprisings that swept Eastern Europe at the end of the 1980s. By
empirically reconstructing the specific history of uprisings in the
Philippines, Burma, Tibet, China, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand
and Indonesia, significant insight into major constituencies of change
and the trajectories of these societies becomes visible. Co-sponsored by
PM Press.
