Bandits is a historical analysis of the figure of the social bandit, exploring their origins, motivations, and the social context in which they arise. Eric Hobsbawm examines how bandits are often seen as figures of resistance and justice by oppressed communities, challenging established power structures. The book offers a fascinating perspective on social history and popular rebellion.
Eric John Ernest Hobsbawm was a British historian of the rise of industrial capitalism, socialism and nationalism. His best-known works include his tetralogy about what he called the "long 19th century" and the "short 20th century", and an edited volume that introduced the influential idea of "invented traditions". He was a life-long Marxist, and his socio-political convictions influenced the character of his work.
