Rot

An Imperial History of the Irish Famine

More about the book

The narrative explores the stark contrast between Britain's industrial ascent and Ireland's devastating Great Famine in the nineteenth century. This crisis challenged established beliefs about political economy and civilization, revealing vulnerabilities in Britain and prompting a reevaluation of its imperial practices. Ireland served as a critical case study, influencing British perspectives on colonization, population dynamics, ecology, and labor, ultimately reshaping the understanding of empire itself.
