Insurgent Archives

This research and outreach project focuses on identifying, analyzing, and disseminating documents related to resistance and insurgency practices in colonial and postcolonial contexts, with an emphasis on Andean indigenous rebellions and Balkan insurgencies. It combines social history, microhistory, and global history, exploring wills, pleas, folk songs, and subaltern narratives as living archives of resistance. Coordinated by Alexandre Belmonte, with interinstitutional collaborations, it promotes training activities, publications, and document preservation initiatives.
