Sri Putchalapalli Sundarayya (1 May 1913 – 19 May 1985) was a renowned national liberation fighter. He was one of the founders of the Communist Movement in India and an indefatigable fighter for the rights of toiling masses of India. He led the glorious Telangana peasant armed struggle in the 1940s against the despotic rule of Nizam of Hyderabad and liberated many from the shackles of servitude under Vetti. Sundarayya provides a detailed description of the intricacies - both decision-making and the execution of plans by the various guerilla squads. The book provides a ringside view of the movement of squads, the network of communications and the police terror. It highlights the movement, the years in the forests fighting the Nizam's forces and then the Indian army. It provides a wealth of detail and any account of the Telengana struggle is incomplete without reference to this authoritative work.

"Jusqu'en 1931, la population rurale était majoritaire en France. La seconde révolution agricole a ensuite soumis les agriculteurs à une constante pression modernisatrice, dans une société de plus en plus ouverte sur l'Europe et sur le monde, de plus en plus centrée sur l'activité des villes et des industries. Face à cette inexorable marginalisation, la profession a su élaborer des modes de protestation spécifiques, essentiellement axés sur les mobilisations collectives et le recours à l'action directe. C'est la construction de ce modèle original de la manifestation paysanne qu'Édouard Lynch analyse ici, depuis la révolte de 1907 jusqu'aux nouveaux enjeux de l'agriculture, en passant par la tentation fascisante des années 1930, l'activisme des jeunes modernisateurs des années 1960, et mai 68. Défilés, assauts contre des bâtiments officiels, barrages de routes, destruction de denrées : à chaque fois, il s'agit tout autant d'occuper l'espace public et médiatique que d'user de violence contre les biens, dans le cadre d'une relation ambivalente avec l'État, les forces politiques et l'opinion. Des buts, des stratégies, des techniques dont les modalités résonnent au plus près des mouvements sociaux d'aujourd'hui."

These twelve essays explore the nature of south Asian agrarian society and examine the extent to which it changed during the period of British rule. The central focus of the book is directed to peasant agitation and violence and four of the studies look at the agrarian explosion that formed the background to the 1857 Mutiny. The essays give a coherent historical treatment of the Indian peasant world, and the paperback edition of this successful book will be of interest to the student of peasant studies and to the sociologist as well as to development economists and agronomists generally.

This book offers a comprehensive approach to the study of the political history of the Renaissance: its analysis of government is embedded in the context of geography and social conflict. Instead of the usual institutional history, it examines the Florentine state from the mountainous periphery - a periphery both of geography and class - where Florence met its most strenuous opposition to territorial incorporation. Yet, far from being acted upon, Florence's highlanders were instrumental in changing the attitudes of the Florentine ruling class: the city began to see its own self-interest as intertwined with that of its region and the welfare of its rural subjects at the beginning of the fifteenth century. Contemporaries either remained silent or purposely obscured the reasons for this change, which rested on widespread and successful peasant uprisings across the mountainous periphery of the Florentine state, hitherto unrecorded by historians.
