This classic work in subaltern studies explores the common elements present in rebel consciousness during the Indian colonial period. Ranajit Guha—intellectual founder of the groundbreaking and influential Subaltern Studies Group—describes from the peasants’ viewpoint the relations of dominance and subordination in rural India from 1783 to 1900.
Challenging the idea that peasants were powerless agents who rebelled blindly against British imperialist oppression and local landlord exploitation, Guha emphasizes their awareness and will to effect political change. He suggests that the rebellions represented the birth of a theoretical consciousness and asserts that India’s long subaltern tradition lent power to the landmark insurgence led by Mahatma Gandhi. Yet as long as landlord authority remains dominant in a ruling culture, Guha claims, all mass struggles will tend to model themselves after the unfinished projects documented in this book.
Students and scholars will welcome this paperback edition of Guha’s 1983 original, which was distributed on a limited scale in the United States. It will influence new generations studying colonialism, postcolonialism, subaltern studies, historiography, anthropology, and Indian, Asian, and Latin American history.

核心觀點是農民起義背後有自己的一套心理機製、價值觀、思想和結構。從英國法國印度中國(主要是《湖南農民運動考察報告》)關於農民起義的史料裏挖掘能充實農民起義的基本麵(“否定”、“模糊性”、“形式”、“擴散”和“區域性”)的論據。不是很喜歡這種使用史料的方法,生生掰開再放到不同的名目下,生硬瞭些。對印度史不熟悉,跳過瞭不少。
评分讀瞭前1/3,一開始很煩,後麵觀感還不差。但怎麼說呢,太故弄玄虛瞭。有空重讀吧。
评分A typically Marxian historical work. The chapter on transmission reveals the role of rumour and other verbal and non-verbal media of knowledge in the structure of insurgency and is very much suggestive to me as a student of material culture. Yet the problem of historical source still appears to me a barrier to the understanding of what and how the
