The Americas in the Age of Revolution, 1750-1850 . By Lester D. Langley. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1996. Pp. 374. Illustrations. Notes. Index. $35.00.)

This is a historical study of the American Revolution in 1776, the slave-led revolution for independence in Saint Domingue (later renamed Haiti) during the 1790s, and the Spanish-American Wars of Independence culminating in the mid-1820s. The book is arranged into four parts. The first three parts are dedicated respectively to a particular revolution. Each is, in turn, divided into three separate chapters, dealing with the antecedents, unfolding, and immediate impact of the victorious independence movements. The study also generally addresses the issue of state-making and modernization in a conflictive age, and deals with the triumph of liberalism in the mid-nineteenth century. Its last part looks, therefore, at the revolutionary legacies of the three cases and the condition in the Americas at 1850.
