Major Study Of Famine & Crisis In Darfur,
By Chimonsho (Turtle Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Famine that Kills: Darfur, Sudan (Oxford Studies in African Affairs) (Paperback)
First published in 1989, this classic study is indispensible for understanding Darfur's current humanitarian disaster. The new edition places both famine and genocide in historical and regional context. Unlike instant books which often lack depth despite other merits, De Waal thoroughly grounded his research in detailed fieldwork and knowledge of this vast province. "Famine That Kills" brilliantly explores indigenous definitions of food deprivation and peoples' survival strategies, and substantively advances debates on famine beyond the entitlement thesis of A. Sen's seminal "Poverty & Famines." Alex de Waal is an uncompromising humanist; his work (notably "Famine Crimes") relentlessly scourges clumsy technocratic "fixes," government machinations, and the mythologies of aid and development. Not for the faint of heart, but well worth the effort.
