“‘What is an American?' is an old question with renewed contemporary resonance. A New World of Revolutions reveals hidden hemispheric traditions of rebellion and resistance in the Americas that two centuries of nationalism and border-building have obscured. With Arturo Chang’s richly researched, lucidly argued intervention, ‘American’ political thought will not look the same again.”—David Armitage, author of The Declaration of Independence: A Global History

​

“An ambitious recasting of American political thought. This is a novel and exciting work that introduces a rich new archive with potential implications for longstanding discussions in the political theory of colonialism.”—Inés Valdez, author of Democracy and Empire: Labor, Nature, and the Reproduction of Capitalism

​

"By combing archives and vernacular cultures in the Age of Revolutions, Arturo Chang illuminates a variegated republicanism, lessons on revolution, everyday peoples and popular movements enacting emancipation, afterlives of stunted uprisings, and the idea of America irreducible to the U.S. nation-state. A New World of Revolutions brilliantly details how, since modernity’s advent, being American has always been hemispheric in scope.”—Neil Roberts, Williams College

​

"A New World of Revolutions provides a much-needed and important examination of the Pan-American discourses and hemispheric orientations that drove the Age of Revolutions in the Americas during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It represents exciting new paths in the study of political theory that will also have implications far beyond this field of study.”—Adam Dahl, author of Empire of the People: Settler Colonialism and the Foundations of Modern Democratic Thought

​

“Looking beyond the nation state and the manifestos and constitutions that typically enshrine political space, Chang examines a huge range of rich archival studies and vernacular culture to propose new means of resisting and theorizing political authority. This important book fills not one but multiple gaps in the study of political thought.”—Leigh Jenco, London School of Economics and Political Science
