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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Human ecology|zDeveloping countries|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Political ecology|zDeveloping countries|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Famines|zDeveloping countries|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Droughts|zDeveloping countries|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Imperialism|xEnvironmental aspects|xHistory|y19th century. 650 1 Famines|zDeveloping countries|xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 El Niño Current|xSocial aspects|zDeveloping countries |xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 Developing countries|xEnvironmental conditions|xHistory |y19th century. 651 0 India|xEnvironmental conditions|xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 China|xEnvironmental conditions|xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 Brazil|xEnvironmental conditions|xHistory|y19th century. 700 1 Cronin, James Patrick. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11879356?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781541422919_180.jpeg
