Using the primary
(any and all) and secondary (DeFronzo and Snyder) sources assigned in
the course for weeks 2-3, compare the ideologies and processes that
characterized the Russian and Chinese Revolutions, in a formal paper of 8+ pages. (Specifications for formal papers here.)
Discuss the persistence of revolutionary thought and action long after
the initial revolution conflicts were won; in other words, how did the
revolution transform during the decades after successful seizure of the
state? You might focus on the goals of the revolutionary authors, the
language and idiom that they used, the strategies for creating and
sustaining revolution, and the particularities of the participants in
each country.
Use citations from your sources, paraphrases from the secondaries and typically direct quotes from the primaries, as evidence to back your essay's arguments. Write carefully with regard to years and dates.

Using the primary and the secondary (DeFronzo and Scott) sources assigned for weeks 5-8, pick 3 revolutions to discuss comparatively in a formal paper of 8+ pages.
You should discuss the relationship between the revolutions of the
Global South (Vietnam, southern Africa, Tanzania, Iran, and central
America/the Caribbean) and the “parent” revolutions from Russia and
China of the earlier twentieth century. Discuss the direct connections
between the early communist revolutions and those of the Global South
and the ideological models adopted and adapted by Ho Chi Minh, Julius
Nyerere, Fidel Castro, and others. What also were the trans-Third World
revolutionary sentiments/ideologies and actions? In other words, how did
these revolutions compare to one another?
