The Starving Empire: A History of Famine in France's Colonies
Yan Slobodkin
Traces the history of famine in the modern French Empire, showing that hunger is intensely local and sweepingly global. By integrating food crises in Algeria, West and Equatorial Africa, and Vietnam, Slobodkin reveals how the French colonial state and an emerging international community took increasing responsibility for subsistence, but ultimately failed to fulfill this responsibility.
