Omschrijving
This book will provide a thematic overview of one of European history’s most devastating famines, the Great Finnish Famine of the 1860s. Finland’s Great Famine 1856-68 examines key themes such as the use of emergency foods, domestic and overseas charity, vagrancy and crime, emergency relief works, and emigration.
“‘Finland’s Great Famine’ provides a solid and accessible introduction to the topic … . It delivers a successful challenge to both environmentally determinist and narrow nationalist interpretations. Instead, it reconnects the famine to its European political, humanitarian, and commemorative contexts.” (Dominik Collet, H-Soz-Kult, hsozkult.de, January 19, 2024)
Dr. Andrew G. Newby is Senior Lecturer in Transnational and Comparative History at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
