Famine That Kills: Darfur, Sudan (Revised ed.) |
| Alexander de Waal |
| Oxford University Press, 2005, paperback, 257 pp. |
| In this fascinating insight into the dynamics of famine and famine relief, De Waal argues that famine deaths are due to disease, not starvation, ensuing from the social disruption caused by famine, and that the priority for rural people is to preserve their way of life. His findings have profound implications, not just for relief, but for our conception of "famine" itself. Already a classic, this revised edition provides critical background for the current humanitarian crisis. |
