Condition: Very Good. The Irish Famine of 1846-50 was one of the great disasters of the nineteenth century, whose notoriety spreads as far as the mass emigration which followed it. Cormac O'Gráda's concise survey suggests that a proper understanding of the disaster requires an analysis of the Irish economy before the invasion of the potato-killing fungus, Phytophthora infestans, highlighting Irish poverty and the importance of the potato, but also finding signs of economic progress before the Famine. Despite the massive decline in availability of food, the huge death toll of one million (from a population of 8.5 million) was hardly inevitable; there are grounds for supporting the view that a less doctrinaire attitude to famine relief would have saved many lives. This book provides an up-to-date introduction by a leading expert to an event of major importance in the history of nineteenth-century Ireland and Britain. Condition (Very Good): Clean, well-kept copy showing light, general use. Pages and cover/jacket intact with minor cosmetic wear (small rubs, slight edgewear). No major defects.…

Hardcover w/ jacket. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. Black '47 and beyond :the great Irish famine in history, economy, and memory /Cormac O Gra da1999English Book xii, 302 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, 1999.; 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches bound in black boards - with pictorial dust jacket. Bright, fresh copy.; OCLC: "Here Ireland's premier economic historian and one of the leading authorities on the Great Irish Famine examines the most lethal natural disaster to strike Europe in the nineteenth century. Between the mid-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, the food source that we still call the Irish potato had allowed the fastest population growth in the whole of Western Europe. As vividly described in O Grada's new work, the advent of the blight phytophthora infestans transformed the potato from an emblem of utility to a symbol of death by starvation. The Irish famine peaked in Black '47, but it brought misery and increased mortality to Ireland for several years." "Moving away from the traditional narrative historical approach to the catastrophe, O Grada concentrates instead on fresh insights available through interdisciplinary and comparative methods. He highlights several economic and demographic features of the famine previously neglected in the literature, such as the part played by traders and markets, by medical science, and by migration."--Jacket.".…
