这篇评论文章中讨论的五本书要么涉及饥荒，要么涉及南亚获取食物的相关问题。饥荒是一个强大但扭曲的镜头，通过它来观察任何社会。饥荒的原因和后果揭示了南亚部分地区在特定时期的重要社会和文化事实。更重要的是，对饥荒的分析离不开平时的农业技术、不平等、依赖等问题。本文的基本论点是，饥荒提出了关于选举权结构与发生饥荒的社会中权利现实之间关系变化的问题。
The five books discussed in this review article deal either with famine or with related issues concerning access to food in South Asia. Famine is a powerful but distorting lens through which to look at any society. Both the causes and the consequences of famine reveal important social and cultural facts about parts of South Asia at particular times. More important, the analysis of famine is inseparable from the problems of agricultural technology, inequality, and dependence in normal times. The underlying argument of this article is that famines raise questions about the changing relationship between the structures of enfranchisement and the realities of entitlement in the societies in which they occur.
