The 1840s witnessed widespread hunger and malnutrition at home and
mass starvation in Ireland. And yet the aptly named 'Hungry 40s'
came amidst claims that, notwithstanding Malthusian prophecies,
absolute biological want had been eliminated in England. The
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were supposedly the
period in which the threat of famine lifted for the peoples of
England. But hunger remained, in the words of Marx, an 'unremitted
pressure'. The politics of hunger offers the first systematic
analysis of the ways in which hunger continued to be experienced
and feared, both as a lived and constant spectral presence. It also
examines how hunger was increasingly used as a disciplining device
in new modes of governing the population. Drawing upon a rich
archive, this innovative and conceptually-sophisticated study
throws new light on how hunger persisted as a political and
biological force. This book is relevant to United Nations
Sustainable Development Goal 2, Zero hunger. -- .
