"Weapons of the Weak" is one of the most important works by American political scientist and anthropologist James Scott (1936–2024). Using the example of a small village in Malaysia, where the author conducted fieldwork in the late 1970s, he illustrates the plight of the peasant class and, more broadly, the entire agrarian way of life in the face of the "developmental state." A brilliant analyst and chronicler, Scott captivates the reader from the very first pages, moving freely from sketches of village life to detailed economic analysis and then to the central theme of his scholarly work: how and why do people submit to the existing social order?
