Extract

In his classic study of revolution, Crane Brinton succeeds in uncovering certain common features, or uniformities, which are present in all four of the great Western revolutions. In analysing the English Revolution of the 1640s, the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the more recent Russian Revolution, he employs ‘the fever of revolution’ as a conceptual measure of social disequilibrium. This pathological analogy provides a means of focusing attention upon the key uniformities of revolution.

Both settlements reached population levels of about 10,000 persons during the first decade of the movement. From 1912 to 1926 approximately 200 hijras sprang up in central Arabia. At peak size, the settlements could muster 25,000 first-echelon troops.Google Scholar
