"'Little attention has been paid to modern movements of social protest which fall outside the classic patterns of labor or socialist agitation, and even less to those whose political coloring is not modernist or progressive but conservative, or reactionary or, at any rate, rather inarticulate. . . . Professor Hobsbawm's essays illuminate more than the obscure men and societies they deal with. They speak of peasants and workers, of the poor and of their heroes, not only in Andalusia but in Aden, not only in Calabria but in the Congo, not only in Manchester but in Mississippi. Students of society, or politics, or history, will henceforth have to heed their awkward and novel and suggestive insinuation that the mirror in the roadway might profitably be shifted from the highways to the byways of history'" [Excerpt on the back cover of a review by Eugen Weber].
