DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Rebecca and Her Daughters: Being a History of the Agrarian Disturbances in Wales Known as "the Rebecca Riots" Nothing has been published except the Report of the Commissioners for 1843, a novel called The Rebecca Rioter, a few scattered articles in various publications, and the reports of the riots in the newspapers Of the period, to give any idea of the wave of indignation which spread through Wales - almost a century ago - a wave which rose higher and higher, till it broke at last in open rebellion against the oppression Of the Government and the tyranny of those in authority. What were the Riots What were the causes? And who were Rebecca and her daughters are some of the questions which naturally arise in the minds of those who are strangers to the history of this rebellion against the despotism of those times, and whose forebears were not participators in the revolt.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRiots in Literature addresses representations of crowd disorder as manifestations of popular politics, including colonial and postcolonial contexts. The terms used to describe disorder are themselves, of course, contested. Words like “mob,” “demonstration” and “protest,” not to mention “riot’ itself, denote a particular perspective based on an elitist taxonomy for dealing with social and cultural phenomena in society. Of primary concern is the way in which the text describes and designates crowd behaviour using the language of denigration, metaphors of the primitive and animalistic, brutal images, and silences, and where the mediation of the event is expressed in terms of the binary order/disorder. The contributors to this volume are interested in the analysis of the interaction of official political culture and crowd politics as represented in literature and orature, and how such representations contribute to the discourses of authority and subversion of their period. The essays are wide-ranging and explore the phenomenon of riots in literature through studies of popular risings in Shakespeare; Carlyle and the French Revolution; the Rebecca Riots in Wales; popular ballads and the Indian War of Independence in 1857, post-partition riots in India and Pakistan in the 1960s, township violence in South African fiction post-1948, the 1965 Watts riots in Los Angeles in detective fiction and avant garde disturbances in France of the 1920s and 1930s. Throughout the book, these essays focus attention on the tension-filled relationship that is perceived between literature and discourses of power and popular resistance.
