'The Politics of Hunger is a deeply learned and humane book, rich in archival detail and judiciously deployed anecdotes about the real lives of those who faced food scarcity as their primary, quotidian reality. [.] Malthus argued 'a satisfactory history of this kind, of one people, and of one period, would require the constant and minute attention of an observing mind during a long life.' Griffin's is such a mind and The Politics of Hunger is such a book.'Journal of Historical Geography'Francis Bacon once observed that "rebellions of the belly are the worst." This highly original monograph explores how "hunger politics" operated in the 18th and 19th centuries as a weapon of protest wielded by the undernourished urban and rural populations of England. The fierce suppression of the food rioters of the 1790s led to new forms of protest: incendiarism, cattle maiming, and threatening letters. By 1800 wages had replaced the price of food as the "critical component in working families' living standards." Griffin (Univ. of Sussex, UK) challenges the conventional idea that the "Hungry Forties" witnessed the rediscovery of hunger. Instead, he shows how the "twin discourses" of hunger and starvation survived from 1801 into the 1840s. A close-grained study of broadsides, ballads, letters, and speeches provides the evidence. Griffin also explores the effects of dubious local and national policies, such as the Speenhamland system for supplementing the wages of workers, which led to their impoverishment as farmers underpaid their workers, knowing that public assistance would make up the difference. English theorists reduced the poor to a "distinct and decidedly animalistic race." As Griffin concludes, "hunger defined popular protest and popular politics.'--D. R. Bisson, Belmont UniversitySumming Up: Highly recommended.Reprinted with permission from Choice Reviews. All rights reserved. Copyright by the American Library Association.'The politics of hunger is a timely and welcome contribution to ongoing debates surrounding food security,protest, and governmental policy in Britain. [...] This is a pertinent, well-researched, and compassionatebook that should become required reading for students of hunger, protest, politics, and public policy in modern Britain. In every chapter, Griffin combines studious archival research with acute theoretical insights to reveal how the discourses of hunger and starvation became engrained into the fabric of everyday life, governance and resistance. [...] The politics of hunger will stand as a foundational text for a promising vein of future research.'Leonard Baker, Agricultural History Review, 'The Politics of Hunger is a deeply learned and humane book, rich in archival detail and judiciously deployed anecdotes about the real lives of those who faced food scarcity as their primary, quotidian reality.
