TLDR
The authors argue that the moral and political ideas of the little tradition achieve historical visibility only at those moments when it becomes mobilized into dissident movements which pose a direct threat to ruling elites, and that there is a shadow history which remains to be written for almost every mass movement in the Third World.Abstract:
Perhaps one reason why political scientists and historians generally overlook the moral and political ideas of the little tradition is that both, unlike the anthropologist, tend to concentrate on the written record-the product, par excellence, of the great tradition. The little tradition achieves historical visibility only at those moments when it becomes mobilized into dissident movements which pose a direct threat to ruling elites. It is for this reason that I have had to rely so heavily on evidence from millenial revolts in constructing my argument. Yet it seems to me that there is a “shadow history” which remains to be written for almost every mass movement in the Third World.read more
