Krátky popis
Examining a series of El Nino-induced droughts and the famines that
they spawned around the globe in the last third of the 19th
century, Mike Davis discloses the intimate, baleful relationship
between imperial arrogance and natural incident that combined to
produce some of the worst tragedies in human history. Late
Victorian Holocausts focuses on three zones of drought and
subsequent famine: India, Northern China, and Northeastern Brazil.
All were affected by the same global climatic factors that caused
massive crop failures, and all experienced brutal famines that
decimated local populations.But the effects of drought were
magnified in each case because of singularly destructive policies
promulgated by different ruling elites. Davis argues that the seeds
of underdevelopment in what later became known as the Third World
were sown in this era of High Imperialism, as the price for
capitalist modernization was paid in the currency of millions of
peasants' lives.
