Description
Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts by James C. Scott, a prominent social scientist, provides a penetrating analysis of the public and hidden roles played by the powerful and the powerless. Scott examines the ironic, subversive, and often covert expressions of resistance that occur out of the view of authority—what he calls “public and hidden transcripts.” Drawing on examples from literature, history, and political life across cultures, he explores how these interactions have manifested throughout history. The book highlights the tensions, contradictions, and subtle forms of defiance that ordinary people use to navigate oppression. Scott’s work reveals the unseen dynamics of power and resistance in society. It is a foundational study for understanding social hierarchies and the strategies of the marginalized.
