Peasants, Famine and the State in Colonial Western India
D. Hall-Matthews
Recent literature has suggested that famines are complex, long-drawn-out and political processes, rather than sudden, natural phenomena. It does so by investigating their factors of production - land, capital and labour - as well as markets in credit and the cheap foodgrains they produced and, above all, their relationship with the colonial state.
