The Plebeian Experience: A Discontinuous History of Political Freedom - Columbia Studies in Political Thought / Political History
Breaugh, Martin (Associate Professor, York University / Universite York)
Through a series of often overlooked historical events, Martin Breaugh identifies fleeting yet decisive instances of emancipation in which people took it upon themselves to become political subjects. Emerging during the Roman plebs's first secession in 494 BCE, the plebeian experience consists of an underground or unexplored configuration of political strategies to obtain political freedom. Integrating ideas from sociology, philosophy, history, and political science, The Plebeian Experience describes the people's battles for emancipation throughout history, expanding research into the political agency of the many and shedding light on the richness of radical democratic struggles.
