Recent literature has suggested that famines are complex,
long-drawn-out and political processes, rather than sudden, natural
phenomena. This book is among the first to examine such a process
in detail, by studying poor peasants in Ahmednagar district,
Western India, between 1870 and 1884. 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.
