Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Uprooting is at once a stunning document on colonial conflagration and a pioneering analysis of its distinctive rationale that will enrich the rapidly growing scholarship on empires, colonies and postcolonies.”
Loïc Wacquant, University of California, Berkeley

“A classic text that is as relevant today as it was almost 60 years ago. As such, it provides a critical contribution to scholarship on post-conflict recovery and/or postcolonial studies and should constitute foundational reading for scholars working in these areas.”
Rural Sociology

“Uprooting [is] … an impressive early study that went beyond narrow policy analysis to encompass a major multi-site project grounded in a thorough understanding of the colonial history and current situation, and helped spark some of the most important general theoretical concepts in the social sciences.”
