Description: Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance, edited by Forrest D. ColburnM.E. Sharpe, Inc., 1989 Condition: Hardcover with dustjacket in very good condition. The dustjacket edges are curled and have some very small edge creases. There is some wear to the corners, spine and edges of dustjacket and hardcover. Pages are clean & unmarked but appear a little yellowed due to age or type of paper used. Description: Peasant rebellions are uncommon. "Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance" explores peasants' foot dragging, feigned ignorance, false compliance, manipulation, flight, slander, theft, arson, sabotage, and similar prosaic forms of struggle. These kinds of resistance stop well short of collective defiance, a strategy usually suicidal for the subordinate. The central argument about peasant resistance is presented in the opening chapter by James Scott in which he summarizes and extends the thesis of his book on Malaysia's peasantry, "Weapons of the Weak". Scott's ideas are employed and refined in seven country studies of peasant resistance. Shipping: Ships by USPS economy rate, which generally takes 6 to 10 business days.
