Dear Philip:
I'd start with these:
A Free Soil - A Free People The Anti-Rent War in Delaware County, New York
by Dorothy Kubik. ---new book from Purple Mountain Press
Tin Horns and Calico, a Decisive Episode in the Emergence of Democracy
by Henry Christman --- a classic from the 1940s
Landlords and Farmers in the Hudson-Mohawk Region, 1790-1850
by David Maldwyn Ellis --- an other classic
For historical background, see Landlord and Tenant in Colonial New York :
Manorial Society, 1664-1775 by Sung Bok Kim, as well as the various earlier
works Kim's book is a corrective to.
Encourage your student to study this fascinating "episode"--the only mention
of North America in The Communist Manifesto is about the anti-rent movement.
We need a good scholarly treatment à la S.B. Kim on this.
