An original. James A. Tyner compares and contrasts the underlying causes of a decade of ongoing famine in Cambodia under three regimes, something which has not been previously done. There is nothing like it, and thus it will constitute a significant contribution to the literature. This is great stuff. -- Craig Etcheson * author of Extraordinary Justice: Law, Politics, and the Khmer Rouge Tribunals * Famine in Cambodia opens up important questions and debates in a number of fields of scholarly inquiry: agrarian Marxism, food regimes, forms of actually existing socialism and famine dynamics, and Cambodian history and political economy. To my knowledge there is no comparable study of the political economy of famine in Cambodia. . . . Tyner’s research clearly reflects a deep and sophisticated understanding and control of archival and historical materials and is a crucial contribution to the literature. -- Michael J. Watts * author of Silent Violence: Food, Famine, and Peasantry in Northern Nigeria *
