Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance

by Forrest D. Colburn

Peasant rebellions are uncommon. Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance explores peasants' foot dragging, feigned ingorance, 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.

I think I fell in love with the Nicaraguan rural poor post FLSN* revolution 😳
