Weapons Of The Weak by James C. Scott
Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance
An ethnographic study of rural peasants that shows how subordinate people resist domination through everyday, often covert acts—foot-dragging, pilfering, feigned ignorance, gossip and sabotage—rather than through open rebellion; it argues that these informal, hidden practices constitute a crucial form of political life, enabling people to express grievances, negotiate power, and preserve dignity while avoiding direct confrontation with authorities.
