Domination and the Arts of Resistance

This book delves into the complex relationship between the powerful and the powerless, exploring the ways in which subordinate groups critique power and the powerful develop private dialogues. Renowned social scientist James C. Scott examines examples from literature, history, and politics around the world to reveal the tensions and contradictions inherent in this interaction. With discussions of public roles and hidden transcripts, this book offers a penetrating look at the arts of resistance.
