"This book brings together a diverse group of experts to undertake a comparative analysis of the transition from politico-military movements to political parties of several of the most significant Latin American and African revolutionary movements of the late twentieth century. Not only is this a timely volume, but it is also the first project of its kind. As such, it promises to make a hugely important contribution to the fields of Latin American Studies and African Studies, as well as to our understanding of revolutions and the processes of democratization."--Jacket.
