Quotations from Balzac and analysis attributed to Colin Gordon frame resistance as dispersed, tactical, and not neatly separable into political versus apolitical. The table of contents outlines chapters on small-scale “fire” in class conflict, normal exploitation and resistance, and a detailed historical and social study of Malaysia and the rice sector, including Sedaka from 1967 to 1979.","JAMES C.SCOTT  \nueaponsfeWeakEveryday Forms ofPeasant Resistance  \nWeapons of the Weak  \nWeapons of the Weak  \n# EVERYDAY FORMS OFPEASANT RESISTANCE\n\nJames

gratitude to Z and other friends in“Sedaka”  \nIt is clear that no Herostratus among them has dared to go into the remotecountryside to study the permanent conspiracy of those whom we still call“the weak”against those who believe themselves \"strong”—of the peasantryagainst the rich....is it not critical to portray at last this peasant whothwarts the [legal]Code by reducing private property into something that si-multaneously exists and does not exist?You shall see this tireless sapper,thisnibbler,gnawing the land into little bits,carving an acre into a hundredpieces,and invited always to this feast by a petite bourgeoisie which finds inhim,at the same time,its ally and its prey....Out of the reach of the lawby virtue of his insignificance,this Robespierre,with a single head andtwenty million hands,works ceaselessly,crouching in every commune...bearing arms in the National Guard in every district of France,since by1830,France does not recall that Napoleon preferred to run the risk of hismisfortunes rather than to arm the masses.  \nHonoré de Balzac  \nLetter to P.S.B.Gavault                 introducing Les Paysans   \nDo not imagine that Tonsard,or his old mother or his wife and children eversaid in so many words,\"we steal for a living and do our stealing cleverly.\"These habits had grown slowly.The family began by mixing a few greenboughs with the dead wood;then,emboldened by habit and by a calculatedimpunity(part of the scheme to be developed in this story),after twenty yearsthe family had gotten to the point of taking the wood as if it were their ownand making a living almost entirely by theft.The rights of pasturing theircows,the abuse of gleaning grain,of gleaning grapes,had gotten establishedlittle by little in this fashion.By the time the Tonsards and the other lazypeasants of the valley had tasted the benefits of these four rights acquired bythe poor in the countryside,rights pushed to the point of pillage,one canimagine that they were unlikely to renounce them unless compelled by a forcestronger than their audacity.  \n                      Balzac,Les Paysans  \n...the binary division between resistance and non-resistance is an unrealone.The existence of those who seem not to rebel is a warren of minute,individual,autonomous tactics and strategies which counter and inflect thevisible facts of overall domination,and whose purposes and calculations,de-sires and choices resist any simple division into the political and the apolitical.The schema of a strategy of resistance as a vanguard of politicisation needs tobe subjected to re-examination,and account must be taken of resistanceswhose strategy is one of evasion or defence—the Schweijks as well as the Sol-zhenitsyns.There are no good subjects of resistance.
