Reviews

?This collection of articles ranges from case studies of revolutions (Nicaragua, Iran) and revolutionary situations (Southeast Asia, Angola, Cuba, Mozambique, and Nicaragua) and world revolutionary trends. In general, the analyses are interesting and original. They all represent the world-system' theoretical perspetive associated with Immanuel Wallerstein (The Politics of the World Economy) at present enjoying growing influence in the historical social sciences. The essays are valuable, each on its merits and together as a sampling of the world-system' approach. Although primarily for readers who are theoretically inclined and already somewhat informed on the subjects addressed, this book would be a useful addition to any college collection.?-Choice
