Starvation and the State: Famine, Slavery, and Power in Sudan, 1883-1956 - Palgrave Series in Indian Ocean World Studies
Steven Serels

This study shows that food crises were the result of exploitative processes that transferred resources to a small group of beneficiaries, including British imperial agents and indigenous elites who went on to control the Sudanese state at independence.
