Selected works in conjunction with the interdisciplinary KU topic entitled "Changing the World: The Meanings of Revolution." This theme is the subject of inquiry during the spring of 2009 for KU’s international area studies centers: the Center for East Asian Studies; the Center of Latin American Studies; the Kansas African Studies Center; and the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies, as part of a year-long program devoted to "protest and revolution."
