Elementary Aspects of Peasant Insurgency in Colonial India

by Ranajit Guha

Published 26 January 1984

The historiography of peasant insurgency has hitherto been a record of the colonial administration's effort to deal with insurgents. Guha's work adopts the peasant's viewpoint and studies the peasant rebel's awareness of his own world and his will to change it.
