"In this work, Brian Meeks compares the Cuban, Nicaraguan and Grenadian revolutions, using techniques derived from J. S. Mill and perfected by Theda S. Skopol. He emphasises the conditions that facilitated the making of these revolutions, the social forces that led the process in each case, and how these factors came together to affect the extent of popular empowerment in the post-insurrectional landscapes." "Meeks contends that none of these revolutions suggest that there is a predetermined, 'progressive' path which various states must invariably follow. Revolutions may occur as a result of conjuncture, accumulated experience and contingency. Despite the incompleteness and unfulfilled promise of all these revolutions, they suggest, to different degrees, that people have the potential to make history and affect positive changes, if they can learn from the accumulated errors of the past."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
