{"product_id":"9781349525386","title":"Peasants, Famine and the State in Colonial Western India by D. Hall-Matthews","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297762718069,"sku":"9781349525386","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781349525386.jpg?v=1762781571","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781349525386","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
