About the Author
James C. Scott is a renowned political scientist and anthropologist whose groundbreaking work explores the dynamics of power, resistance, and state-society relations in everyday life. A Sterling Professor of Political Science at Yale University, Scott has profoundly influenced fields ranging from agrarian studies to anarchist theory through his meticulous examinations of how marginalized communities navigate and subvert dominant structures. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Southeast Asia and beyond, his scholarship reveals the hidden transcripts of the oppressed and critiques the hubristic visions of modern states. With a career spanning decades, Scott's incisive analyses continue to challenge conventional understandings of governance, autonomy, and human resilience in the face of authority.
