Reviews

  • Peasants has earned a place in that very short shelf of books which genuinely makes you see the world anew. Maryam Aslany has thought deeply, read widely, travelled globally and observed minutely to produce a book whose insights turn our preconceptions upside down. In often exquisite prose, illuminated with brilliant shafts of scholarship, she has written a text that is as profound as it is wide-ranging and, potentially, world-changing. Over and again she reminds us of the crucial but usually ignored role that peasants still play keep the world in balance, "holding in check an industrial world which has none of their reverence for nature. Our fragile world is only as intact as it is because of them." Peasants is not just an extraordinary debut, it is that most precious rarity: an out-and-out masterpiece

    William Dalrymple
