Excerpt
In this short book, the founder of the concept "everyday resistance," James C. Scott, professor of political science at Yale University, summarizes his understanding of "everyday resistance" and its relation to "the little tradition" of peasants, ultimately the conflict between the state and "the vernacular world." It is a collection of texts that has never been published in book form before.
