Three transformative revolutions that rocked the early 20th century unfolded almost concurrently in neighboring regions. Despite the Russian, Iranian, and Young Turk Revolutions occurring between 1904 and 1911, their interconnectedness has been overlooked until now. In his book, Roving Revolutionaries, Houri Berberians delves into the intricate connections of these three revolutions by examining the role of Armenian revolutionaries, who were minorities in all three empires. Through their movements and involvement across borders, Berberians sheds light on the global transformations taking place. By conducting an archival analysis of the circulation of revolutionaries, ideas, and print, he paints a vivid picture of peoples and ideologies in upheaval, collaborating with each other, and thus contributing to our understanding of revolutions and movements.
