In quale misura gli eventi del 1956 hanno costituito una cesura nella storia del XX secolo? Il volume si propone di riflettere – anche criticamente – sull’idea del 1956 come “anno spartiacque”, tenendo assieme ricostruzione storica e dibattito storiografico, e ponendo al centro il nesso tra le vicende nazionali e gli avvenimenti di portata internazionale che in quell’anno si sono susseguiti, dalle crisi interne al blocco sovietico allo scacco subìto in Egitto dal colonialismo anglo-francese. Dal XX Congresso del Pcus ai “fatti d’Ungheria”, dal ’56 polacco alla crisi di Suez, sono ripercorse – con particolare attenzione alle culture politiche – le conseguenze italiane ed europee di eventi e processi di portata globale.

In this book Juan R. I. Cole challenges traditional elite-centered conceptions of the conflict that led to the British occupation of Egypt in September 1882. For a year before the British intervened, Egypt's viceregal government and the country's influential European community had been locked in a struggle with the nationalist supporters of General Ahmad al-`Urabi. Although most Western observers still see the `Urabi movement as a "revolt" of junior military officers with only limited support among the Egyptian people, Cole maintains that it was a broadly based social revolution hardly underway when it was cut off by the British. While arguing this fresh point of view, he also proposes a theory of revolutions against informal or neocolonial empires, drawing parallels between Egypt in 1882, the Boxer Rebellion in China, and the Islamic Revolution in modern Iran. In a thorough examination of the changing Egyptian political culture from 1858 through the `Urabi episode, Cole shows how various social strata--urban guilds, the intelligentsia, and village notables--became "revolutionary." Addressing issues raised by such scholars as Barrington Moore and Theda Skocpol, his book combines four complementary approaches: social structure and its socioeconomic context, organization, ideology, and the ways in which unexpected conjunctures of events help drive a revolution.
