Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Examining a series of El Niño-induced droughts and the famines that they spawned around the globe in the last third of the 19th century, Mike Davis discloses the intimate, baleful relationship between imperial arrogance and natural incident that combined to produce some of the worst tragedies in human history. 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.
Review:
"This book is really important for people of color, for people interested in issues of inequity, or just those who are interested in looking at the world....And, yo, this guy can write his ass off."
Junot Diaz, Entertainment Weekly, 03/30/2001
Review:"[A] wide-ranging and compelling book....[A] remarkable achievement...."
David Arnold, Times Literary Supplement, 03/23/2001
